# isFindBarVisible

Returns whether the container should display its find bar.

```
var isFindBarVisible: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When this property is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> and the [`findBarView`](/documentation/AppKit/NSTextFinderBarContainer/findBarView) property is set, then the find bar is displayed by the container. Otherwise, the find bar is not displayed.

The default value should be <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
