Very weird. I haven't the faintest idea why this pdf is not searchable and similar ones in the same folder do. Checked the permissions but they are the same. However, I have another document that cannot be searched, the context reference manual from 2013 and there seems to be a difference between these two and the others. Those I cannot search have in their properties as PDF producer "Mac OSX (version) Quartz PDFContext" (older pdf versions 1.3 and 1.4), the others have Luatex as producer (pdf version 1.7). Therefore, I strongly suspect that the Quartz producer is the culprit, weird as it may be. Is it possible to produce the command reference with Luatex as producer excluding the Mac Quartz producer? It is the only difference I am aware of that matches the behaviour.

Searches work for me in Preview.

You probably need to detail what you try to do. I just plugged into some things into the Preview search bar and got hits.

It is searchable on my El Capitan laptop here. I used the file in the directory and did not run context to generate it if that's what you did. On Thu, May 19, 2016 at 3:59 PM, Jean-Pierre Delange wrote:

Hi fellows ConTeXt users,

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. I didn't try to go further with others xml files which source are here :

The command reference in file i-context.pdf is highly useful, but that document is not searchable, neither with Preview nor Adobe Reader. Files luatex.pdf, xml-mkiv.pdf for example are searchable. It would be nice if the command reference can be searched too, because for now looking up a command needs a lot of page skipping. Can this be done? I would very much appreciate it.

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).
