Bug ID: 300992
Severity: wishlist
Version: unspecified
Priority: NOR
Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org
Summary: Searching for a phrase does not find occurences split
by a line break / newline in Pdf
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: vlu...@gmx.de
Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: PDF backend
Product: okular
When pressing Ctrl + f to search in a Pdf document, when searching for two
words separated by a space in the search bar, those occurences of that phrase
in the document which span over the end of a line are not found.
Example: One enters "british library" in the search bar, including the space
character between the words (excluding the quotes). This will highlight the
phrase in the document if both words are found on a single line. But if the
word "british" is the last word in a line and the word "library" follows
immediateley at the beginning of the next line, the prase is not found /
highlighted at that place.
Seaching for "britishlibrary" (without the space) will not find the phrase
separated by a line break either.
What does work is to insert a line break character (for example by copy and
paste from Kwrite) between the words in the search bar.
This is not strictly a bug, after all a newline character is different from a
space character. But it makes finding of all occurences of a phrase in a
document more complex than necessary.
Reproducible: Always
Using Okular version 0.14.3 (this version was not found in the list-box above)
