Hi Vikki, 

It's not generally necessary to do BOTH generate pages and generate search text separately. Generally the process of generating pages will also add the text to the search index - generating text is usually a process you can do separate for documents that already have images. Also, when used through the repository web client, generating text is not a simultaneous process - it's either offloaded to DCC (for self-hosted) or the Cloud text generation service (for Laserfiche Cloud), and there may be a delay before the text is returned. 

Lastly, you are in the file view (viewing as a pdf) and the search you are using is the embedded adobe reader search, so none of the above options will actually impact that. You can tell this because that's an adobe reader toolbar, not the Laserfiche document viewer toolbar. It will only be able to search on text if the PDF has an embedded text stream, which is a property of the initial PDF itself, not generating text through Laserfiche. Having generated pages you want to toggle to the page view and then Laserfiche search will be used for search operations.
