Weird search behaviour

Post by Wamma »

Hello!

Take an arbitrary pdf file like this one: http://coreknowledge.org/CK/resrcs/less ... er_Pan.pdf
Try to search for example for "unit this". It's the same as when you would search for "this unit". You get the same results.

Another thing: try to search for "na t". You get following results: imagination, indignantly, alternate, ...

Is this behaviour intended?

Best regards

Confirmed. The behaviour is rather odd.

Searching for "and s" found: "and substantial", "handsome", "colours and" "figures, and"

Expected: find only "and substantial"
