I meant, if new users are looking for a pdf viewer, how are they
supposed to know that evnice is the default pdf viewer that is included
in the default installs?

The fact is that not only is the evince name non-decriptive, but the man
-k short description likewise has no mention of "pdf" so it won't be
found as a pdf viewer either.
