¶ Contain Text
Category: ⚙️ System
¶ Description
Searches the source text blocks for a specific word or pattern and outputs the number of occurrences found.
By default the search is recomputed automatically whenever the source blocks' text changes. Connecting a jolt to the Manual Trigger input disables auto-update so the result is only refreshed when triggered. Toggle 'Case Sensitive' in the inspector to control whether 'Hello' and 'hello' should count as the same match.
