**Which product are you using?** PDF.js Express Plus **PDF.js Express Version** 8.1.1 **Detailed description of issue** We are having an issue with search not finding a term that is present in a document. When searching for the term `diabetes` it’s not finding the result. ![Screen Shot 2022-01-20 at 12.14.21 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/pdfjscommunity/original/1X/25d5a198ef3e588301dd14416a0b4e314de9ba53.png) However when highlighting it on page 29 I noticed that it’s got some hidden space within the word `dia betes`. ![Screen Shot 2022-01-20 at 12.14.05 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex031/uploads/pdfjscommunity/original/1X/e273c3d10281ee8981a738cf4d7a3208c3833166.png) Are you able to confirm this is a pdf.js issue and not jsexpress? We opened the document in acrobat and it’s able to find the word correctly. **Expected behaviour** Find the term diabetes on page 29. **Does your issue happen with every document, or just one?** So far just this one, but we’ve had multiple situations of words not displaying correctly in the viewer. **Link to document** [PDF Document Link](https://storage.googleapis.com/dev-myindago-sba-pdfexpress/REV_214154_214154ORIG1S000ADMINCORRES.PDF) --- _[View the full topic](https://pdfjs.community/t/search-result-not-finding-a-word-listed-in-a-document/1318)._
