SUMMARY "Advanced search" in the already existing sidebar panel as containing the previous and next words of the searched terms, like Foxit does. And, a simple "search in folder" for all documents in subfolders. Both are features lacking which makes me not even use okular. Preferring the firefox read-only. I already described 5 more on: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496071 Which seems the 'settings slow load' was fixed. But the highlights are still very outdated, and doesn't seem to have improved usability, not even the bugs already mentioned. Currently I'm using pdfgrep which is very impractical but completely adaptable in GUI. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. ctrl+F search anything 2. slow. 3. don't preview the words OBSERVED RESULT too simple to be this slow. EXPECTED RESULT An advanced search sidepanel containing every reincidence of the entire document, giving a customizable sequence of words before and after the searched term. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Opensuse KDE Plasma Version: 6,8 Qt Version: 6,8
Thanks for the bug report! Unfortunately it reports multiple distinct issues, which will make it not actionable. See https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Issue_Reporting#Multiple_issues_in_a_single_Bugzilla_ticket for more explanation. Can I ask you to submit a new bug report for each specific issue? Thanks again!

Thanks > again! They don't classify as two different bugs. Both concern the "SEARCH" engine, lacking speed and specially a very important folder search. The side panel is the result of what a fast folder search would do. Foxit does this.
This feature request was stated in its summary as: ""Advanced search" in the already existing sidebar panel as containing the previous and next words of the searched terms, like Foxit does." and "a simple "search in folder" for all documents in subfolders." I believe the overall topic of "search improvements" is too broad to be a single, actionable feature request as is requested for Bugzilla tickets. Are you only requesting one of those features above? If so, then I can gladly adjust the title here to reflect the one that's being requested. Otherwise, I would ask that discrete features be requested individually. Thanks!
