Hello

I need to add search function to the current version. Is there any plan that can be implemented?

unfortunately lower level c or c++ engine just loads pages in the format of bitmap.

pdfium should have this function, the problem is to implement it for android. I remember the old app "google pdf viewer" which however was based on pdfium and had this function

I did some research and found some libraries that have implemented the search, but I don't know if they work, they should be tested. It would take someone to test them and maybe fork and keep an updated fork.

Test them and let me know if they work in any way
