In preview, when searching for a word or phrase (in a PDF document) it doesn't find anything unless one letter is typed in; it worked yesterday. I installed a third app PDF organizer and then took it off. Maybe that did something to the program? I've checked all the settings that I can find. I also downloaded Pacifist and reinstalled preview, but that didn't make any difference. I'm not sure that it reinstalled. Any ideas?

Thanks!

It looks like preview is working, the file was bad.
