According to this discussion https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=72707 only PDF metadata is indexed and searchable - not the actual text.
My search was not for metadata and it worked, so that information is incorrect.

EDIT: As I pointed out in the above thread, *I* was incorrect, not Wallcraft. I forgot I had a mobi version of the same PDF document on my Kindle. That was where my "global" search results were coming from, not the PDF. Searches from within the PDF DO work.
