I disagree. From what I can see the "_ _" problem *is* a case of
incorrect spelling (but a well-intentioned one). It seems to have
been put in deliberately to make the double underscore obvious.
The "fi" ligature is simply correct and good quality PDF readers
will cut and paste it as "fi" (two characters) and match it in a
search for "f" followed by "i". In other words, it works just
fine.
I don't think either says anything about the penalty of PDF
publication. In fact for interactive (i.e. non scripted) searches
I like the PDF better, now. I can search for text, jump to
specific pages or go right to a given section just by typing any
part of the section number or name.
We'll just have to agree to disagree. My main point was that with
text you have no problem selecting the search software to suit your
tastes and needs.
