Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Hope Okular can support regular expression search, making people can search

"Ta"

alone, without seeing "Take" and "Table"

Not easy.

I'd add my support for this feature request - it is very nice that "/" brings up the find feature and a regular expression search that you could type in the bottom (like vi) would be fantastic.

It could be great if this feature would be added as a plugin. I have also sent a similar question here on the forum:

Not in 21.12.0

>Not easy.
Why? Not using regexp library/librairies, for instance pdfgrep for pdf's?
