PDF-generating softwares put hyphens at the end of a line if word needs to be broken into two. The search algorithm in Foxtrot considers these broken words as separate.
To be more specific, I have attached a sample page.
Download the file, index it in Foxtrot, open it in a new window, and search for the word "possessives".
- How many occurrences does Foxtrot give you?
- None
But, if I search the same word in Acrobat Adobe, it gives me 1 occurrence, because Acrobat is intelligent enough to remove those carriage returns (recognized the word as one).
I think Foxtrot needs to do the same. The results will be more accurate is these carriage returns are removed and the word is considered as one.
