Description Алексей Шилин 2012-12-06 00:00:16 UTC 
Let's assume you want to search for a word "in" within a document in Okular. To do that you enter " in " into the search field (with surrounding spaces). While searching forward works fine, searching for previous matches seems to ignore surrounding spaces, thus producing results, where "in" is just a part of a word.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the URL above in Okular.
2. Search for " in ". The first match is at page 2.
3. Click Next. You are now at page 6.
4. Click Previous.
Actual Results:  
You are still at page 6, and the search result doesn't match the search query.

Expected Results:  
Okular should have found the first match at page 2.

I'm using Okular 0.10.5 as in Debian squeeze. Okular 0.14.3 was tested and is affected too. Newer versions were not tested.

Do not ignore spaces on backwards search

This ports a change we made to the forward search 4 years ago...
