PDF full text search does not find the text
Many times when I search in the Zotero PDF-reader it does not find the text, even if the file is indexed. For instance, I copy text from another PDF-reader and paste it in Zotero, because I want to copy a nice formatted text. For instance, I search for "supra 233". Zotero doesn't find it. When I take the space away and search on "supra233" it finds it (I search without the double quotes). When I copy the same text from Zotero it is with a space. Other PDF-readers find the text without problem. For instance PDF XCHANGE. Is there a setting in Zotero that I can change or some plug in that I can use to improve the search?
Many thanks in advance,
Many thanks in advance,
I just ran into perhaps the same problem. I can't search a simple phrase, trying to jump to where I left off, and don't see any particular reason, except perhaps that it is in a visual heading.
Checking the string in Notepad++ there do not seem to be any double spaces and there is no punctuation in this case.
In Acrobat there is no problem searching.
I have extracted the single page to share from the (otherwise paywalled) pdf.
The problem phrase is, without quotes:
"Methods to Model"
