# searchFocused(_:equals:) Modifies this view by binding the focus state of the search field associated with the nearest searchable modifier to the given value. ``` nonisolated func searchFocused(_ binding: FocusState.Binding, equals value: V) -> some View where V : Hashable ``` ## Parameters `binding` The state binding to register. When focus moves to the associated search field, the binding sets the bound value to the corresponding match value. If a caller sets the state value programmatically to the matching value, then focus moves to the search field. When focus leaves the search field, the binding sets the bound value to `nil`. If a caller sets the value to `nil`, SwiftUI automatically dismisses focus. `value` The value to match against when determining whether the binding should change. ## Return Value The modified view. ## Discussion To control focus by matching a simple boolean condition, use the [`searchFocused(_:)`](/documentation/SwiftUI/View/searchFocused(_:)) modifier instead.
