Re: searching pdf files from a specific page onwards

I currently use kpdf for viewing pdf files. I have tried other pdf viewers (acroread, xpdf etc.,) some time back and settled on to kpdf as it sucked less. Is there any pdf viewer out there which has the following feature?

Say I have a document of 400 pages. Now I search for a word and say there is a hit in pg 250. Now if I search for another word, kpdf starts searching from pg 250 onwards. However, I would like the new search to start from pg 100 (or worst case scenario - from pg 1 onwards). This is all the more painful because kpdf does not have a "backward search" feature. Is there a pdf viewer which can do this? What pdf viewer do you think is better in terms of available search features?

thanks

Evince has an option to search backwards. Anyway, in kpdf 0.5.5, I'm able to scroll back to the first page using the thumbnails sidebar, and then new searches started with Control-F seem to start from the first page.
