Description
This is an enhancement bug to track the implementation progress of text selection highlight and search API.
Currently PDF text is searched in the Viewer RI leveraging the text extraction call. When a search is complete a list is show showing the number of occurrences of the search string on each page that had at least one hit.
What I would like to see happen is that the respective search text on each page is highlighted. Also, I would to see a core search API that allows for; highlight all, match case, next and previous cursors and configurable selection colour overlays. Research should also be done into optimal algorithms for searching text. There are numerous performance issues that should be kept in mind; page parsing times and page disposal considerations when search large documents.
