The Text View is simply used as a place for the user to put any rich text and or images. Is there a way either to search or to get all of the plain text out from such a Text View? It's probably a simplistic question and I rather suspect that ultimately the answer is no!
NSTextView (and its parent class NSText) have methods for doing find and replace, which is what the commands in the Find submenu are wired up to. They even select the target text, scroll to it and blink it for you.
If that's too high level, just get the string property of the NSTextStorage and use NSString methods for searching for substrings.
