Is it possible to search for text in the syntaxedit control from the current cursor position without using the findreplace dialog (ie programatically) and set the cursor position to the start of the searched for text. There doesnt seem to be a find or search method.

I could search the syntaxedit.text string or select text from the current location to the end of the file and search that, but then there is no method to convert a character position to a SyntaxEditTextPosition

It looks like the only way is to search the rowtext property, row by row.

For a large file the text property takes too long to load
