Search for RTL text is reversed

When I search for a word written in arabic, Okular search character by character from left to right. See attached image for more info.

This also happen for Persian text. The UI is fine, but it probably tries to iterate search clause from left to write but the PDF text itself from right to left. The problem can be solved by unifying these two iterations.

That is the TextEntity reordering problem. :(
