How to Change Search Highlight Color in React DOCX Editor

27 Aug 20261 minute to read

React DOCX Editor (Document Editor) provides an option to change the default search highlight color using searchHighlightColor in Document Editor settings. The color specified for searchHighlightColor within documentEditorSettings is used to highlight the searched text. By default, the search highlight color is yellow.

Similarly, you can use the documentEditorSettings property for the DocumentEditor also.

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

import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';
import {
  DocumentEditorContainerComponent, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-documenteditor';
DocumentEditorContainerComponent.Inject(Toolbar);
function App() {
  // Specify the desired color to change the default search highlight color
  let searchHighlightColor = {
    searchHighlightColor: 'Grey',
  };
  return (
    <DocumentEditorContainerComponent
      id="container"
      height={'590px'}
      serviceUrl="https://document.syncfusion.com/web-services/docx-editor/api/documenteditor/"
      enableToolbar={true}
      documentEditorSettings={searchHighlightColor}
    />
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));

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.
