It would be a helpful feature if it is possible to search multiple pdf documents for a special string. Now I can only search the current document, but if it is possible to search multiple documents from (for example) one folder. I know that there exist pdfgrep, but it would be nice to have it in a gui, where I can switch to that position immediately. Thanks.

Regardless to the internal Okular implementation, Nepomuk-webminer can index the paper collection, then usual Nepomuk search capabilities (in Dolphin or KRunner) can be used to find the needed document. Some docs on Webminer: http://docs.kde.org/development/en/extragear-base/nepomuk-webminer/index.html
Okular is not designed to be a "document database" or anything like that, it's a document viewer, so it searchs on the documents, adding such a feature doesn't make much sense from the current UI and workflow point of view. Thanks for caring about Okular and suggesting this improvement.
