Sure, seems like you are looking for a way to auto search text in your clipboard. So first register clipboard text change listener in this way. Note that it only works within your application:
NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(clipboardChanged),
name: NSNotification.Name.UIPasteboardChanged , object: nil)
Then handle the it by this function
func clipboardChanged(){
let pasteboardString: String? = UIPasteboard.general.string
if let theString = pasteboardString {
print("String is \(theString)")
// Put the string into your search bar and do the search
}
}
