Monaco-editor: Open search panel programmatically

[owennicol]

When you do cmd+f in the Monaco Editor, you get the find/search box appear.

Is there a way to have this open when the editor loads, with pre-populated text?

monaco-editor version: 0.9.0
Browser: chrome
OS: macOS
Steps or JS usage snippet reproducing the issue:

You can run editor.getAction('actions.find').run().

Is it at all possible to prepopulate the search box with arbitrary strings, like @owennicol asks? The only thing I've managed to do so far with the function you mentioned, @rebornix, is to search for the text that is currently selected.
