How to Change Search Highlight Color in TypeScript DOCX Editor

28 Aug 20261 minute to read

TypeScript DOCX Editor (Document Editor) provides an option to change the default search highlight color using searchHighlightColor in the Document Editor settings. The highlight color specified in documentEditorSettings will be applied to the searched text. By default, the search highlight color is yellow.

Similarly, you can use the documentEditorSettings property for the DocumentEditor as well.

The following example code illustrates how to change the default search highlight color.

let container: DocumentEditorContainer = new DocumentEditorContainer({ enableToolbar: true, height: '590px',
// Add required search highlight color
  documentEditorSettings: {
    searchHighlightColor: 'Grey',
  }
});
DocumentEditorContainer.Inject(Toolbar);
container.serviceUrl = 'https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/';
container.appendTo('#container');

NOTE

The Web API hosted link https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/ utilized in the DOCX Editor’s serviceUrl property is intended solely for demonstration and evaluation purposes. For production deployment, please host your own web service with your required server configurations. You can refer and reuse the GitHub Web Service example or Docker image for hosting your own web service and use for the serviceUrl property.

The output will be as shown below:
