Configuration:

Web browser and its version: Chrome Versión 125.0.6422.112 (Build oficial) (x86_64)
Operating system and its version: Macos 14.4.1 (23E224)
PDF.js version: "version": "2.4.456"

Steps to reproduce the problem:

I am using pdf.js through vue pdf app, in order to have the pdfviewer and use it. I am having problems as pdf viewer detects spaces where there aren't. So when I am trying to search some phrases specially those that has Text alignment, or tabs, or even indetation. Will attach the root cause so you will see that if I add spaces (that are not there) it will highlight the text .

What is the expected behavior? (add screenshot)

The expected behavior is that when you search a paragraph for example in the search bar it will highlight the text. What went wrong? (add screenshot)
When searching, not found occurs. Link to a viewer (if hosted on a site other than mozilla.github.io/pdf.js or as Firefox/Chrome extension):

The version 2.4.456 has been released 4 years ago... and we fixed a lot of bugs since. If you can reproduce your issue with https://mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/web/viewer.html then please provide us the pdf and a clear STR.

Closing for now, since it's opened a couple of days ago and it unfortunately still lacks enough information to be actionable.
