Search an embed spreadsheet with code

I am trying to come up with a way that I can easily search a spreadsheet I have embeded to a wix page. The spreadsheet is a one drive sheet. I want to be able to click on a name and search the spreadsheet. I can hit Ctrl + F and it brings a great search box that I can type a name in. I have all the names I would be searching in a repeater. I was thinking somehting of
$w(“#html1”).postMessage( search conmmand : itemData.title)

I am really not sure what the best way to do this is. Is there a way to postMessge and mimick keyboard presses? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
