-====== Simple Custom Search Bar ======
-A simple custom search bar could be made up from a TextEdit control and a search button control, contained within a horizontal Linear Layout. The code below is a very simple quick implementation.
-<code javascript search.js>
-var txtSize = 22;
-//Called when application is started.
-function OnStart()
-{
-    lay = app.CreateLayout( "linear", "FillXY" );
-    lay.SetBackground( "/Sys/Img/BlueBack.png" );
-    //Create a layout to hold the search controls
-    laySearch = app.CreateLayout( "Linear", "Horizontal, FillX, VCenter" );
-    laySearch.SetBackColor( "#000000" );
-    laySearch.SetPadding( 0, 0.01, 0, 0.01 );
-    //Create a TextEdit control for entering search text
-    txeSearch = app.CreateTextEdit( "", 0.85 );
-    txeSearch.SetTextSize( txtSize );
-    //Create a search button
-    btnSearch = app.CreateText( "[fa-search]", 0.1, -1, "FontAwesome" );
-    btnSearch.SetTextSize( txtSize );
-    btnSearch.SetOnTouch( btnSearch_OnTouch );
-    laySearch.AddChild( txeSearch );
-    laySearch.AddChild( btnSearch );
-    lay.AddChild( laySearch );
-    //Add layout to app.
-    app.AddLayout( lay );
-}
-//Called when the search button is pressed
-function btnSearch_OnTouch( ev )
-{
-    if( ev.action=="Down" )
-    {
-        this.SetTextSize( txtSize-4 );
-    }
-    else if( ev.action=="Up" )
-    {
-        this.SetTextSize( txtSize );
-        var searchText = txeSearch.GetText();
-        app.ShowPopup( "Search: " + searchText );
-    }

-====== TextEdit Search ======
-This function is designed to search for a string in a textEdit.
-It starts searching from the current position of the cursor and, if it finds an occurrence of the string, positions the cursor immediately before the occurrence.
-An area immediately following the cursor is highlighted as the selected area.
-If it does not find an occurrence, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the text, allowing the user to search again from there if required.
-<code JavaScript findtext.js>
-function findtext(thisedt,sought)
-//thisedt = textEdit to be searched.
-//sought = string to be searched for.
-{
-   //both toLowerCase for case-insensitive search
-   var lc = thisedt.GetText().toLowerCase();
-   sought = sought.toLowerCase();
-   //current cursor position is start for search
-   var curs = thisedt.GetCursorPos();
-   //only compare against the searchable range
-   lc = lc.slice(curs+1)
-   // try to find next occurence of sought
-   var pos = lc.search(sought);
-   if ( pos > -1)
-   {
-      //we found it
-      pos  = pos + curs +1
-      thisedt.SetCursorPos(pos)
-      thisedt.SetSelection(pos, pos+sought.length);
