I have noticed that if I search for text in a pdf, the search results are correctly highlighted in the currently opened note, but when I switch to view the results in other notes, the highlighting is shown about an inch lower than where the search string appears in the pdf.
Sometimes a note containing the search term will only display the few inches of the pdf from the top. The rest of the pdf will simply not show... i.e. you can tell that the document continues, but the rest of it is blank. Scrolling the pdf sometimes gets the whole pdf to display. Clicking in the pdf sometimes gets it to display.
Also, because of the way that Evernote dims the whole pdf except for the found search string, it can make reading the pdf difficult. Is there an easy way to toggle between displaying the pdf dimmed with the search term highlighted, and displaying the pdf undimmed? I know that if I click in the pdf, the dimming will disappear, but how do I toggle back to displaying the highlighted search terms again.
Lastly, has any thought been given to including a count of the number of times the search term occurs in the current note, and providing arrow buttons to allow the user to step through each occurance?
