Multiple results from same pdf file

[systemaddict]

Hello

Is it possible to have multiple results from the same pdf file.

Lets say you've got a newspaper in pdf format and search for "war in iraq" - would't it be relevant to show multiple results (i.e. multiple descriptions) of the occurence of this result?

Is it possible?

If you are doing this search as a multi-word search, then multiple pieces of context are shown. One piece per word, up to a maximum of 3 pieces of context.

If you are doing an exact phrase search, then only one larger section of context is displayed. This is mostly for efficiency reasons, as it avoids a long, possibly fruitless search through large PDF files. (exact phrase searching is much less efficienct than single word and multi-word searches).

But there is a feature that might partially address your requirement, which is, PDF word highlighting.
