Title:
Find (ctrl-f) can be used even though the pdf-file has no searchable
text.

Bug description:
Binary package hint: evince
PDF Files can be void of any searchable text. For example PDF's
created using simple-scan. Enabling the Find function for this type of
PDF is misleading. I can enter a string and Evince answers 0 found -
although the string/word is actually in the text. The user is mislead
to believe the word/string doesn't appear in this text.
PDF's not containing any searchable text should be recognized by the
application(Evince) and a search not offered to the user; Because a search
really isn't done.
This can really set you of track if you're used to "standard" pdf
functionality (searchability) and are oblivious of this other kind of pdf.
Ubuntu GNU/Linux 10.04 "Lucid Lynx"
