# UITextSearchingFindSession A find session object that wraps a searchable object implementing the text-searching protocol. ``` @MainActor class UITextSearchingFindSession ``` ## Overview Implement the [`UITextSearching`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearching-53wjq) protocol on the class that encapsulates the searchable content for your view to use an instance of [`UITextSearchingFindSession`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearchingFindSession) as the session object. Alternatively, you can subclass [`UIFindSession`](/documentation/UIKit/UIFindSession) to manage the details of the session using a custom class. The find session’s reference to [`searchableObject`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearchingFindSession/searchableObject) is weakly held to avoid a retain cycle if the view you install the interaction on is the searchable object itself. Ensure that your app maintains a strong reference to the searchable object. ## Topics ### Creating a text searching find session [`init(searchableObject: any __UITextSearching)`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearchingFindSession/init(searchableObject:)-9zc4e) Initializes an object to manage the search for the searchable object you specify. [`convenience init(searchableObject: SearchableObject)`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearchingFindSession/init(searchableObject:)-7swl5) Initializes an object to manage the search for the searchable object you specify. ### Getting the searchable object [`var searchableObject: (any __UITextSearching)?`](/documentation/UIKit/UITextSearchingFindSession/searchableObject) The object to search, responsible for performing the search operation and decorating the results. ## Relationships ### Inherits From [`UIFindSession`](/documentation/UIKit/UIFindSession) ### Conforms To [`Hashable`](/documentation/Swift/Hashable) [`Sendable`](/documentation/Swift/Sendable) [`CustomDebugStringConvertible`](/documentation/Swift/CustomDebugStringConvertible) [`SendableMetatype`](/documentation/Swift/SendableMetatype) [`CustomStringConvertible`](/documentation/Swift/CustomStringConvertible) [`Equatable`](/documentation/Swift/Equatable) [`CVarArg`](/documentation/Swift/CVarArg) [`NSObjectProtocol`](/documentation/ObjectiveC/NSObjectProtocol) --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
