search within the pdf is not available

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is a great plugin.

It'd be almost perfect if I could search within the pdf, which doesn't
appear to be possible.

It works for me. Have you tried Cmd-F?

Ah, sorry, correction to my report needed:

search within a pdf does not work if the pdf is loaded in a frame.

Here's an example:

directly loading a pdf (search works):
http://www.ca3.uscourts.gov/opinarch/991324.pdf

If you search for "precedential", you find it.

Same pdf, in a frame (search doesn't work):
http://www.kwun.org/pdfex/

I doubt it matters, but my system:
FF 3.0
Mac OS X 10.5.4
Intel

I'm including this in a broader issue report (issue 40).

Thanks for reporting this.
