What issue are you seeing?
Hitting cmd-e does not add the currently selected text to the find pasteboard. This is a standard convention for Mac apps, and it is very much missed here.
The swift code would look something like:
let findPasteboard = NSPasteboard(name: .find)
findPasteboard.clearContents()
findPasteboard.setString("yourSearchTerm", forType: .string)
