What exactly do you mean with search in finder? Searching for all
documents on your computer containing a specific word?
Do you also have problems searching for specific words in preview or
not (you said that results are different)?
I just remembered that sometimes (long ago) I had some kind of
"problems" due to some tiny kerning/boxes inserted into PDF between
characters to compensate for whatever (microtypography or just
"random" corrections to fix the second/third decimal of precision in
positioning). That sometimes confused readers which considered the
text to be two or three words when it was in fact one. But I don't
know if that is related. One can sometimes see that in google search
showing html version of a pdf document with seemingly randomly
distributed spaces.
