                for (int i = 0; i < txtContent.TextLength; i++)
                {
                    for (int j = 0; j < searchText.Length; j++)
                    {
                        if (txtContent[i] == searchText[j])  // why i cann't access txtcontent index?
                            txtContent.Select(_startIndex, searchText.Length);
    
    
                    }

    What? What types are you dealing with? You need to give more detail.
    If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.

    I agree with itsme86. The type of txtContent needs to be said, but it's pretty obvious the trouble is txtContent isn't a string type variable; otherwise, it would work.
