Hello,

We are in the process of deploying a WebLink instance for some of our users to search OCR'ed PDF documents and things are going fairly well, however, the stakeholders have requested a feature they've seen in other applications.

When searching a document's text, WebLink provides the option to highlight all matches, but what they would like some kind of display window that would list those matches with a contextual view.

For example, if I search a document for "time" I may see something like this:

• the time of day is
• ran out of time for
• next time they

In the example they provided, the list appeared off to the right, and clicking any of the results would navigate to that section of the document.

I know full-text search can return these types of context hits when searching the repository, but our users are looking for something with a scope limited to the currently open (PDF) document; there are legal reasons we actually can't allow searching text across multiple documents, and the documents could easily be hundreds of pages long so scrolling through to review each match can become quite a chore.

One challenge we faced is that we had to store these documents in PDF format with no pages to even make the text search available within document viewer, but it seems that this has come up a few times before and document text search is in the works for a future release.

 was still hoping there was a way to preserve both and force the PDF to display instead of the pages since PDF is currently the only way to get the text search capability for an open document in WebLink.

In either case, I think providing context hits when searching text from the WebLink document/PDF viewer would be a great feature to include.
