I can somewhat confirm this, and I think it has to do with document size, or the amount of text between matches. On a 6-page-PDF, I get matches from all pages when searching for a frequent word, however when searching for a word occurring on only some of the pages, I only get matches from the current, sometimes the next page. When looking at PDFCore::findU, I'd think this is happening on the poppler side, however I notice while evince will also take its time searching a 300+ pages PDF, it can find many occurrences throughout the entire document. Hopefully Adam has an idea what's going wrong here? Florian
