Do you know, how well the function works with hyphenated text if at all, and if it finds hyphenated texts that span over multiple pages, and how it handles different languages? Is it UTF-8?
What info gets returned? Will it then be simple to somehow mark the found word?

It would be great if we could get a search going on the iLiad. I am willing to take a look into this aswell, but i know nothing about c++ programming and can only start mid Febuary.

A simple textsearch in a single PDF would suffice for me at the moment. A global textsearch on the iLiad could easily be very expensive.
