According to the docs it takes UTF-8 coded input and returns a list of rectangles for each occurance of the text on the page (in PDF points).
Hyphenation doesn't work at all, I've tried it against the actual Debian version of libpoppler.
For those who are interested I've added a proof of concept for a single-file search. I couldn't compile it to run on the iLiad, but maybe someone can help out. It currently prints a list of all pages the string occurs on and exits 0 if matches were found.
