PDFSearchText doesn't match multiple words

[pparker]

Hi,
I'm trying to use PdfSearchText to perform in document searching and have ran into an issue where if you search for multiple words they aren't found, even when they are found individually.

Calling PdfGetPageText() will return a string that contains the search term as expected (calling .Contains("search term") on this method will return true), but when using PdfSearchText to find the first occurrence of the search term on the page the result is always false.

Is it a case that PdfSearchText() can only be used to match single words rather than phrases?

Thanks

Hello,

This method supports multiple words research. Have you tried with different PDFs ?

If your problem still persists you can send us your file through https://www.gdpicture.com/support/getting-support-from-our-team and provide us the text you are searching for.

Kind regards,

Loïc

Hi,
Yeah I've tried with several different PDFs, and they all exhibit the same behaviour.
All of the PDFs were generated from TIFs by GD's PdfOCRCreateFromMultipageTIFF and SaveAsPDFOCR methods if that's at all relevant.

I've submitted an example file along with the search terms that are failing.

Thanks.
