I would like to second this request! Thank you for your consideration. I just wanted to post the same request, as it's an important one! Here's my thoughts about it: Feature Request: Use the sidebar in the search. Two Options: 1. When the user searches, create a fifth sidebar-tab that shows the page and roughly the environment of each found occurrence. (see Sidebar-Screenshot). 2. In the sidebar-tab titled "Contents", when the user searches for a term, the chapters that contain the search-term should get highlighted (yellow to keep it consistent) In my opinion 4.2 seems more important; both could and maybe should be implemented at the same time though. |
Created attachment 115449 [details] Evince search term occurrences summary Hi there, I practically live inside a PDF reader, so I have pretty strict requirements. I just switched to Plasma, and I'd like to use Okular, but it's missing a critical feature for me, a search pane that shows a summary of all the occurrences of a search term with a bit of context. I'm attaching an example from Evince, which does it perfectly. Thanks a lot for taking this into consideration!
