This should be high priority.

As it stands, the Ubuntu Document viewer cannot be trusted. The search
function does that work.

How many professions can you think of where it is crucial to know
whether a string occurs in a document or not?

Law, journalism, health, security, law enforcement.

Need I go on?

Can anyone trust to use the search in Ubuntu's document viewer? Of
course they can't they shall have to manually read a document before
they can establish whether the text they are looking for is there or
not.

Now consider an instance where one of these professionals has to
establish that a string DOES NOT appear in a document. These documents
can stretch to hundreds of pages. Are you going to sit down and search
through manually and trust your judgment when you need to establish the
absence of something as a matter of life and death, of national
security, of legal importance? Of course you're not. You are going to
get another piece of software to do it, aren't you?
