I never do that: I search in thumbnails instead. But for the purpose of
telling you if and how it works on my system, I downloaded:
https://www.scss.tcd.ie/~waldroj/3d1/arm_arm.pdf
I did several searches, all of them returning within a second, or less. It
didn't seem to take time at all.
My okular is latest available version 4:20.04.0-1.
(I'm so happy the version is so up to date, and yes, I think Okular/debian/sid
is working very well at the present)
(My system is a 8080 with 16KB RAM, and latest CP/M installed. Really a third
gen i5.)
