Remembered that Hans Hagen recently told me (and Jean-Pierre reminded me of this) that the document can be generated with: context --extra=setups --overview i-context.xml I did this and the resultant document now has in the document properties: PDF Producer: LuaTeX-0.95.0 PDF Version : 1.7 (Acrobat 8.x) This document is searchable indeed, both in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and in Apple's Preview. Conclusion: the problem must be --at least on my perfectly normal straight out-of-the-box MacOSX-- located in the producer "Mac OSX (version) Quartz PDFContext". Why? About that I am in the dark.

I think the issue comes from Mac OS X PDF reader installation. On Windows, one can pass the following command: context --extra=setups --overview cont-en.xml which print a PDF file (ConTeXt Extra) very searchable. cont-en.xml is the old reference file (which still exists because it is used in manuals), the updated list is in i-context.xml and all sub files (i-xxx.xml).
