I really like the idea of building a PDF viewer for research papers.

One feature that I don’t see mentioned that would convince me to use the product is fast search (possibly after some pre computation)

When I’m reading a long technical document I often search for words/phrases to remember the definition

For some reason, this process is very slow for longer documents and take a couple seconds (various depending on pdf viewer

I’ve always wished this was fast. For example, if I’m going to be reading a paper for 1hr I wouldn’t mind if there computer spent the first minute building a data structure to enable faster lookup times

Does anyone know if a current pdf viewer has this feature
