-# Finding Specific Elements
-
-Extracting all the text is useful, but often you need specific pieces of information. `natural-pdf` lets you find elements using selectors, similar to CSS.
-
-Let's find the "Site" and "Date" information from our `01-practice.pdf`:
-
-```python
-#%pip install "natural-pdf[all]"
-```
-
-
-```python
-from natural_pdf import PDF
-
-# Load a PDF
-pdf = PDF("https://github.com/jsoma/natural-pdf/raw/refs/heads/main/pdfs/01-practice.pdf")
-
-# Get the first page (index 0)
-page = pdf.pages[0]
-
-# Find the text element containing "Site:"
-# The ':contains()' pseudo-class looks for text content.
-site_label = page.find('text:contains("Site:")')
-
-# Find the text element containing "Date:"
-date_label = page.find('text:contains("Date:")')
-
-# Visualize the found elements
-site_label.highlight(color="red", label="Site Label")
-date_label.highlight(color="blue", label="Date Label")
-
-# Access the text content directly
-{
-    "Site Label": site_label.text,
-    "Date Label": date_label.text
-}
-
-# Display the page image to see the visualized elements
-page.to_image()
-```
-
-## Finding Elements by Color
-
-You can find elements based on their color:
-
-```python
-# Find text elements that are red
-red_text = page.find('text[color~=red]')
-red_text.highlight(color="red", label="Red Text")
-print(f"Found red text: {red_text.text}")
-
-# Find elements with specific RGB colors
-blue_text = page.find('text[color=rgb(0,0,255)]')
-```
-
-## Finding Lines and Shapes
-
-Find lines and rectangles based on their properties:
-
-```python
-# Find horizontal lines
-horizontal_lines = page.find_all('line[horizontal]')
-
-# Find thick lines (width >= 2)
-thick_lines = page.find_all('line[width>=2]')
-
-# Find rectangles
-rectangles = page.find_all('rect')
-
-# Visualize what we found
-page.clear_highlights()
-horizontal_lines.highlight(color="blue", label="Horizontal Lines")
-thick_lines.highlight(color="red", label="Thick Lines")
-rectangles.highlight(color="green", label="Rectangles")
-page.to_image()
-```
-
-## Finding Elements by Font Properties
-
-```python
-# Find text with specific font properties
-bold_text = page.find_all('text[style~=bold]')
-large_text = page.find_all('text[size>=12]')
-
-# Find text with specific font names
-helvetica_text = page.find_all('text[fontname~=Helvetica]')
-```
-
-## Spatial Navigation
-
-You can find elements based on their position relative to other elements:
-
-```python
-# Find text above a specific element
-above_text = page.find('line[width=2]').above().extract_text()
-
-# Find text below a specific element
-below_text = page.find('text:contains("Summary")').below().extract_text()
-
-# Find text to the right of a specific element
-nearby_text = page.find('text:contains("Site")').right(width=200).extract_text()
-```
-
-## Combining Selectors
-
-You can combine multiple conditions to find exactly what you need:
-
-```python
-# Find large, bold text that contains specific words
-important_text = page.find_all('text[size>=12][style~=bold]:contains("Critical")')
-
-# Find red text inside a rectangle
-highlighted_text = page.find('rect').find_all('text[color~=red]')
-```

-<p class="admonition-title">Handling Missing Elements</p>
-
-    In these examples, we know certain elements exist in the PDF. In real-world scenarios, `page.find()` might not find a match and would return `None`. Production code should check for this:
-
-    ```py
-    site_label = page.find('text:contains("Site:")')
-    if site_label:
-        # Found it! Proceed...
-        site_label.highlight(color="red", label="Site Label")
-        site_label.text  # Display or use the text
-    else:
-        # Didn't find it, handle appropriately...
-        "Warning: 'Site:' label not found."
-    ```
-</div>
-
-<div class="admonition tip">

-
-    When working with complex selectors, it's helpful to visualize what you're finding:
-
-    ```py
-    # Clear any existing highlights
-    page.clear_highlights()
-
-    # Find and highlight elements
-    elements = page.find_all('text[color~=red]')
-    elements.highlight(color="red", label="Red Text")
-
-    # Display the page to see what was found
-    page.to_image(width=800)
-    ```
-</div>
