<Result> = DocSeek(<Search scope> , <Text to find> [, <Options>])

<Result>: Array of docFragment variables

Array of docFragment variables corresponding to all the document fragments where the sought text was found.

<Search scope>: Document variable, docFragment variable or control name

Element where the search will be performed. This element can correspond to:
the name of a Word Processing control.
a Document variable.
Versions 24 and later
an docFragment variable.
New in version 24

<Text to find>: Character string (with quotes)

Text that must be found in the specified element.

<Options>: Optional constant (or combination of constants)

Search options:
WholeWord Search for the whole word (enclosed in punctuation characters or in space characters).
