Hi Peter & Jacqueline,
The field is a native iOS control field so I don't think formatted height
is going to get me out of this one so easily.
What I've come up with thus far is that I'm using a mirrored approach
with a LiveCode field as my test subject. I set the font and text size to
the same as used in the iOS native field. The find is performed in the
LiveCode field. I then grab the parameters I need such as the vScroll
value and then scroll the iOS native field to the same position minus
a slight adjustment value to bring the found text to the center of the
scrolling field. (So somewhat similar in concept to what Peter was suggesting.)
I see, it's an input field, not a scrolling field. You're doing pretty
much what I was going to suggest. I do like the formattedheight idea;
you can keep your LiveCode field invisible that way and just use it for
the calculations.

I can't even find a crazy workaround for selections.
