When searching through Hebrew text, text is searched for backwards
(probably due to the fact that visual Hebrew is used in PDF documents).
If the text searched for is all Hebrew, then Okular could reverse the
order of the letters when searching.

I can confirm this.

I don't think the fix is that complicated either.

I'm not really familiar with the libraries (and I'm a GNOME user), but a
quick search reveals that KDE has reliable BiDi support since 3.0.1.  In
particular, I found this function:

QCString QHebrewCodec::fromUnicode ( const QString & uc, int & lenInOut
) const [virtual]

(from http://doc.trolltech.com/3.3/qhebrewcodec.html)

which I could guess, that if the search string piped through it before
the search takes place, it would fix the problem.

(Although there might be a more suitable Qt bidi function which fixes
Hebrew, Arabic and all other RTL languages in one go.)

It seems that bug #128609 is for the same issue, but for KPDF instead of
Okular. One of these bugs should be duped of the other. I will leave it
to the devs to decide which. Thanks.

PDF's objective is to reflect the exact appearance of text.  For Hebrew, it 
means that the glyphs are stored in visual order.  If your PDF viewer accepts 
user input in logical order (which is the case in Windows and Linux), it should 
transform search arguments (captured from a user dialog) from logical to visual 
order before performing the search.
For Arabic, there is the additional issue that the glyphs represent letter 
shapes, and you must perform "shaping", in addition to reordering, on the 
search arguments to choose the proper glyphs for each Arabic letter.
