KDX: Unable to search PDFs from main screen... PDFs not indexed?
I guess there's no indexing going on for PDF searching because I can't seem to find any words that are in my PDFs from the main screen "search my items". I can however open the PDF and search once I'm in, but then again, it's not a find every occurance, it's just a find next occurance.

I think that is just how it works with PDFs.

The "all device" search only includes the PDF's metadata. So you might be able to search for the title or author but not much else.
