// Can I look for a string while browsing a PS/PDF

some PS/PDF (i've confirmed what i'm about to say in one, but
not both, and can't remember which) files include the actual
text of their content; others only treat the letters as more
graphics. searching for text is possible in the first but not
the later (without implementing OCR). i cannot speak to how
difficult it would be to implement said search.

i, too, miss this feature.
