PDF Viewer: investigate ability to search within PDF #1818

Open peetucket opened 10 months ago

See #1791 for background. It is desirable to have the sul-embed PDF viewer behave more the like the Mozilla default view.

HOLD until #1834 is complete.

Investigate if possible to add search within the PDF page.

This PDF from our own stacks demonstrates search does work when there is embedded OCR.
