Search not highlighing every word

[Volker Andres]

Hi,

We have a little problem with the search. Sometimes words get highlighted, sometimes not. They are more or less at the same position at different pages. See the screenshots. We use the default search which comes with MobileReaderControl.js:

searchText: function (pattern, searchUp) {

    var pageResults = [];

    var me = this;
    if (pattern !== '') {
        var mode = me.docViewer.SearchMode.e_page_stop | me.docViewer.SearchMode.e_highlight;
        if (searchUp) {
            mode = mode | me.docViewer.SearchMode.e_search_up;
        }

        me.docViewer.textSearchInit(pattern, mode, false,
            // onSearchCallback
            function (result) {
                if (result.resultCode === Text.ResultCode.e_found) {
                    pageResults.push(result.page_num);

                    me.docViewer.displaySearchResult(result, _(me.jumpToFound).bind(me));
                } else if (result.resultCode === Text.ResultCode.e_done) {
                    alert(i18n.t("endOfDocument"));
                }
            });
    }
},

.

When I debug "result", the quads is an empty array for the not working terms.

Best Regards,
Volker

Hello Volker,

We are having trouble reproducing the issue. Could you send us the document?

We are still having trouble reproducing issue. We've tried searching the term 'lautsprecher' in mobile viewer, and the terms were highlighted.

Could you provide us specific steps that reproduce the error constantly? Also, can you reproduce the issue in uncustomized WebViewer?

[Volker Andres]

Hi,

I am able to reproduce it also with the default mobile webviewer 2.2.2. Tested it with most current Chrome and Firefox on a MacOS Sierra. We have updated the search.xod so that even the pdftron.com watermark is removed.

[Justin Jung]

Thanks for the info. We were able to reproduce the error in 2.2.2; however, we couldn't reproduce it in version 3.0.

There were several text selection issues that were fixed for 3.0, and it seems like this issue is one of them.

[Volker Andres]

What do I have to do, to update to 3.0? We edited the MobileReader massively, so is it enough to update the Core-Files? Could you pls give us a list, which files/directories to update?

[Justin Jung]

As noted in "What's New" (http://www.pdftron.com/webviewer/demo/whatsnew.html), now an instance of AnnotationManager is created only once. This means that listeners should only be set once, or they will cause problems when you load multiple documents in the same viewer. If you don't load multiple documents in the same viewer, it should be fine.

Other than that, you will need to update the other files in the html5 folder.

I think you can delete my last answer, I got 95% to run now. One new thing still occurs. If I enable TextSelect, it is only active when hovering over the text. Can I disable this and enable the 2.2.2 behaviour?

[Justin Jung]

Hello,

You can use the following build http://www.pdftron.com/ID-zJWLuhTffd3c/WebViewer/WebViewer_3.0.0.61373.zip (you can only update CoreControls.js)

and disable to auto-switching by adding the following line in config.js:

Tools.Tool.ENABLE_AUTO_SWITCH = false;

Thank you, it works.
