I am a developer and a fairly new Mac user. I am trying to search a pdf and have discovered some problems that might have solutions.
- Whitespace after a search term is ignored. Typing "Vert " will match "Verticle"…which is infuriating, stupid, and incongruous with many (probably most) other search functionalities.
- The search can't handle backslashes. It ignores them and you can't escape them in the normal way (i.e. by using a backslash). grrrr. I'm searching the comprehensive list of LaTeX symbol encodings so the document has just a few (thousand) very important backslashes.
