Bug ID: 403514 Summary: [Feature Request] advanced search - multiple strings at a time - match any of the words/strings Product: okular Version: unspecified Platform: unspecified OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: wishlist Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: okular-devel@kde.org Reporter: vjera.t...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY I wish there would be an advanced search option - searching several words (strings) at a time. Adobe has it by the name "match any of the words" as explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/843309/can-i-somehow-search-few-words-at-the-same-timealternative-in-foxit-reader-or. Regular(standard) search would acquire searching for example: "dog", viewing results, then "cat", viewing results, then "monkey"... - which would mean when inspecting results you wold have to go through entire file 3 times. I wish to input a list of words (strings) "cat", "dog", "monkey", "baby lion", and as I go through results, one by one, have all of the matching strings displayed, requiring going trough entire file only once. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open a 100+ pages pdf file 2. Search for fairly common word in it 3. Inspect all the results 4. Search for another fairly common word 5. Inspect all the results 6. repeat step 4., 5. and 6. OBSERVED RESULT You are required to go trough entire file as many times as there are words/strings you wish to find. EXPECTED RESULT When in search for multiple strings occurrences having to go trough file only once. Having all the results displayed in order they occur in file. For example "dog", "cat", "dog", "baby lion", "cat", "monkey"...
