OK, the situation with the Mac is very strange.
Today (an odd day), we can search for *some* text, but not all words are found.
It does not have to do with special characters or formatting. Simple words.
And the result in the "finder" does not always correspond to that of "preview".
No problem copying and then pasting text.
Investigating the question of fonts, I produced alternate versions using different fonts.
All of these new files are indexed correctly, including a reprocessed version using dejavu.
They were all produced using the same context standalone macros and binaries (as previously)
and without any changes to the source files. My conclusion is that it is somehow a problem
with some sort of cache on the Mac (that is how searching is quick), indeed a *bug* somehow
corrupting this cache. So the problem must be real but highly irreproducible,
being highly contingent. The new files were, of course, not indexed and cached.
Conclusion, there is some sort of problem on Macs, but it is *not* with ConTeXt. Good!
Alan
P.S. Hans must be thinking that I have a problem with *odd* days... ;)
