Selenium – Search for text on page

Prerequisite:- Selenium

Selenium is a powerful tool for controlling web browsers through programs and performing browser automation. It is functional for all browsers, works on all major OS and its scripts are written in various languages i.e Python, Java, C#, etc, we will be working with Python.

In this article, we will learn how to know whether the text is on a web page or not using selenium in python.

Approach:

First, we will open the chrome driver using the Chrome() method in the Selenium web driver
Assign the Web URL.
Then the driver will open the Given Web URL
Get Web Page Source Code using page_source property.
Assign the text to be searched.
After getting the web page text, we will search whether the text is present or not.

Below is the implementation:

Python3

# import webdriver 

from selenium import webdriver
 
# create webdriver object 

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
 
# URL of the website 

url = "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/"
 
# Opening the URL 
driver.get(url) 
 
# Getting current URL source code 

get_source = driver.page_source
 
# Text you want to search

search_text = "Floor"
 
# print True if text is present else False

print(search_text in get_source)
