PDF Reader unable to search for text #2918

Open Kimbaras opened 1 month ago

Kimbaras commented 1 month ago

What happened?

I'm not sure if I'm blind or missed anything but...

Basically when opening a PDF file (under a "Book" library, if that is usefull) I get no "search" button / icon... The wiki page for the PDF Reader is empty right now but from googling a bit and images from previous issues / posts seems there should be a "text search" inside the PDF...

What I'm getting is no-search

At the beginning I tought it was a PDF issue as also searching for text in Adobe did not provide any result, so I changed file with text search working properly in Adobe, but in Kavita the search icon is still missing...

What did you expect?

The search button / icon to be present as depicted the in picture search

Disclaimer: I understand the image I got is old (Sep 2022, coming from https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues/1523 ) but I don't think I've seen anything about the feature going away (which would be a downgrade in my opinion)

This is the case for me also, but there are a couple of ways to search without the search icon:

Assuming that you're using a common browser, these solutions should work for you. I am using Firefox on Linux and Android but Chrome, Edge, and others should behave similarly even on Windows.

It would be nice to have a dedicated search icon like before though.
