Bug Description
Binary package hint: kdegraphics
hey all,
using Gnome & Ubuntu 9.10, i really prefer KDE's Okular above all PDF readers. the only issue which really disturbs me is the word search (that i found to be the best among ALL the pdf readers in Linux, IMO): it works fine, but when searching in a RTL language (such as Hebrew) you most write the word in the opposite letter direction so that your word will be found..
for exapmle, if i want to look for the word 'lesson', that in Hebrew is שיעור - i'll need to write it the other way around, like this: רועיש
now i know Hebrew isn't your strong side :P so in English, 'lesson' should look like this: 'nossel'
cheers

When searching through Hebrew text, text is searched for backwards (probably due to the fact that visual Hebrew is used in PDF documents). If the text searched for is all Hebrew, then Okular could reverse the order of the letters when searching.
