I was just saying how making code to search text in a pdf is not as easy as you would think since we have to guess what's in the PDF. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376692 --- Comment #4 from Tom Colley --- (In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #3) > Searching code is hard given we basically have to guess what's in the PDF. Hi Albert - I don't understand your comment. This request is not about searching code; it's about searching for text (a phrase), in a pdf file. By a phrase, I mean two or more words separated by space. The PDF creation process tends to eliminate spaces at the end of lines and Okular's search function doesn't appear to take this into account. I guess I'm asking for a search function that can interpret line breaks as spaces, though the implementation would have to be more considered. Some attention has already been put into Okular's search function around this, as shown by the way searching the provided pdf for: "united states" finds the third instance, which is formatted with a dash and a line break: "Unit- ed States" So the search function will find instances of phrases split by a dash and a line break, but not separated by a line break only! Effective searching for phrases is a feature most users will find helpful. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376692 --- Comment #2 from Tom Colley --- Created attachment 104179 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=104179&action=edit The example text formatted as a PDF file. I've attached an example file/PDF, using the text previously given for example. The PDF contains this text: I love the United States. My friend said she loves the United States too but wouldn't want to live there. I live in the Unit- ed States. I revise my diagnosis. When searching for "United States", Okular will find the FIRST and THIRD instances of the phrase, but NOT the SECOND instance. The second instance involves two words in the same paragraph split only by a line break. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
