      <Include steps to reproduce the bug; Did you try using Compatibility mode? If applicable, does Safari behave in the same way?>
      Open a PDF using Orion, press CMD + F to bring up Find, search for something that is in the PDF.
      I have tried Compatibility mode and it didn't make a difference.
      Safari does not behave in the same way as it actually finds what I am searching for.
      Expected behavior:
      <What you expected to happen?>
      I expected that Orion would find what I am searching for.

              Maybe change the title of this item to "Find" in pdf files instead, seeing that's the terminology used? Probably good to keep both "search" and "find" in the title to make sure everyone trying to will be able to find it on the feedback pages...

                          Yes - same issue. Could someone respond if this has been fixed? I would really appreciate some kind of response from the moderators about updates on this. This is really important feature for a lot of us.

                            cleandeal07 When a feature is implemented, the status will change to Done. We ar eplanning a large overhaul of PDF viewer which is why is this taking more time.
