OK, the situation with the Mac is very strange. Today (an odd day), we can search for *some* text, but not all words are found. It does not have to do with special characters or formatting. Simple words. And the result in the "finder" does not always correspond to that of "preview".
What exactly do you mean with search in finder? Searching for all documents on your computer containing a specific word? Do you also have problems searching for specific words in preview or not (you said that results are different)? I just remembered that sometimes (long ago) I had some kind of "problems" due to some tiny kerning/boxes inserted into PDF between characters to compensate for whatever (microtypography or just "random" corrections to fix the second/third decimal of precision in positioning). That sometimes confused readers which considered the text to be two or three words when it was in fact one. But I don't know if that is related. One can sometimes see that in google search showing html version of a pdf document with seemingly randomly distributed spaces. Mojca
