That depends on the PDF reader. Searching is virtually instantaneous on

I guess Mac has better PDF support than any other platform. Acrobat
Reader on Linux is slow to start up, does not come standard with Linux
distros, is a rather large download.


Okular also searches very fast.

I have never heard of Okular, but a quick Google search reveals it's
part of KDE apps. I use Evince (included with Ubuntu) or Acrobat
Reader to view or print PDF's. Each have there own strengths, but no
single one is a clear winner.

I must admit, I haven't used FPC's PDF or HTML docs in some time. The
INF versions are very near 100% complete, so they already fulfil my
documentation needs and integrate well with Lazarus IDE and MSEide.

The disadvantage being that they are not updated when the documentation
is updated.

That said, weren't you going to send me a patch to implement INF support
in fpdoc ?

Michael.
