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.

Find text in PDF files (and better PDF support)
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.
Vlad Would you be able to share the timeline of when this might be release? I appreciate all your help and work you're putting in this.

Currently, the built-in PDF viewer lacks a few key features, in addition to the already-reported missing find functionality (https://orionfeedback.org/d/278-cant-search-text-on-pdf-files)
The Firefox one:
And the overspill menu:
From a minimum viable perspective, I think main feature for me is page counter (to find a given page, or navigate to a page someone refers me to), the download button, and rotation buttons.
"Open with Preview" is good to have in the context menu, but I'd also suggest a right-click context menu option for "Download file as..."
Having tested Orion and Safari, you're matching Safari with feature-parity for now.
I didn't spot that there is a "pop-over" overlay with a couple of options:
(Both Orion and Safari have this)
It gives you zoom in and out, "open in Preview", and download as a PDF. If you want to be pedantic, the download button should honour the user's preference for storage location vs. "Ask me for each download" for where to save the download - I have that set, but it just defaulted to Downloads.

Clicking the "Download" button on a PDF does nothing
Expected behavior:
PDF downloads to user chosen directory

Interesting - this might be a regression, as at https://orionfeedback.org/d/308-in-built-pdf-viewer-is-very-limited I found (back then) the download button worked, but didn't honour the user's preference of "ask every time" for download file path.
