What are you searching? Just text in an iframe? Is the iframe content dynamic?

Is the iframe content in the same domain as were the search function is going to be?

How do you want to return results?

You could search the content with a JS string match, but you can't really do any thing more than maybe get text around the matched string.

Possibly you could scroll down to the first match in the frame.

Look into the string.match function. And the scrollTo method to get the iframe to move to the position of the first result.

Other than that I think the search function that is available in any browser menu would do better than trying to re-invent the wheel in JS.
