Bug#621893: evince-gtk: search does not work when search phrase crosses line-break

[Arthur Marsh]

Package: evince-gtk
Version: 2.30.3-3
Severity: normal


I tried to search for a phrase in a PDF document, and discovered that 
evince-gtk did not find the phrase where it was split over two lines.

The actual document was:

http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2009L04720/d81b310e-f6da-4aa8-adec-4d29e92e3ace

referenced from: 

http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2009L04720/Download

The search phrase "Integrated Public Number Database" is split across a line
around page 20 of the document, and not found in that location by evince-gtk.

mupdf found the phrase that was split over two lines.

It appears that the line break was not in the original PDF, but only in
evince-gtk's rendering of it.
