I can confirm that it seems search is broken in general right now in the
yakkety development build (evince 3.18.2-1ubuntu4).

large documents of thousands of pages; not being able to search makes
the tool unusable for large docs.

When I use i3wm, evince launched from the Terminal works as expected.
If I open a PDF from the dash, evince works as expected.
To summarise, I can so far only reproduce the problem when launching
evince from a terminal, under
