The adobe reader has search.  I have found that mine crashes if I search
for text and don't find anything.  Haven't tried to figure out why.

There is another way to search a pdf, use the /usr/bin/pdftotext program
(part of the xpdf package) and pipe the result to grep:

pdftotext <pdf-file> | grep <search-string>.

The adobe reader is easier, if not for that search bug.

Best Regards,
Keith
