Bug Description

Binary package hint: evince

The search capability in Evince is somewhat limited. It only does case-insensitive search, and does not use regexps. Adding options for either case-sensitive search or regexp search would add to the utility of this application.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2951 got the poppler side fixed:

"I've implemented the whole words only options, and pushed a slightly modified
version of the patch with only case-sensitive, backwards and whole-words-only
options. "
