Find Word

I use Find Word quite a lot and it began behaving a bit strangely yesterday. I was searching a DRM-free PDF for a word ("phonological" as it happens). Found a number of occurrences, then searched for "phonetic" and was surprised that it returned no occurrences. The I searched for "phonological" again, and this time it returned no occurrences! So then I searched for "neuron" which I knew was in the book because I was in the index and could see it and it told me the were references to neurons on at least three pages. Then the unit seemed to hang - couldn't do anything and had to restart.

Made some half-hearted attempts to replicate the problem with other files, but haven't been able to - but I had thought previously that a search didn't return any occurrences for words I fully expected to be present in a book or article I was reading.

Has anyone else had problems with Word Find? Anyone know enough about
how the unit handles PDFs to guess what's going on?

EDIT: I'm on Beta V 2-
