you would have to write your own code for this, but probably a few people who would help as its a feature lots of people want added.

Thank you. why redo the wheel? Is there someone who has already done it? If yes, an example will be welcome

I'm not aware anyone has implemented this yet

pdfium should have this function, the problem is to implement it for android. I remember the old app "google pdf viewer" which however was based on pdfium and had this function

I did some research and found some libraries that have implemented the search, but I don't know if they work, they should be tested. It would take someone to test them and maybe fork and keep an updated fork.

Test them and let me know if they work in any way
