Xcode – How to remove "look up, translate, search web" options and keep "Find selection" for selected text iOS 16

Working with UITextView

//...
txtView.isFindInteractionEnabled = true
//...

My code:

override func buildMenu(with builder: UIMenuBuilder) {
    if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
        builder.remove(menu: .lookup)
    }
    super.buildMenu(with: builder)
}

This will remove: Find selection, look up, translate, search web.

I want to keep only the option: "Find selection" and remove the others "look up, translate, search web"

    Instead of removing the whole menu you can remove specific child elements from it.

    override func buildMenu(with builder: UIMenuBuilder) {
    if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
        builder.replaceChildren(ofMenu: .lookup) { elements in
            return elements.filter { item in
                switch (item as? UICommand)?.action.description {
                case "_define:", "_translate:":
                    return false
                default:
                    return true
                }
            }
        }
    }
    super.buildMenu(with: builder)
}

    _define: action contains both the elements Look up and Search web.
