@fahadalsaidi, are you able to work on those?

@chfanzil , thanks for testing and sharing your findings. The patch doesn't touch search logic , it deals only with inner text layer in okular.

@aacid Thanks for the feedback.

• use QTRY_COMPARE

@aacid any feedback?

add autotest for searching in Arabic

@aacid I want to write autotest but there is a bug #390357 in cmake test. I will try make autotest smiliar to test311232() but there is a problem, the pdf file doesn't load probably and it give me in an empty m_generator. please have a look on it.

Well, I was over-optimistic. This patch is related only to BUG: 207748 & BUG:184399. The other back-ends have many problem not related to this patch as following:

• xps: okular crash when open arabic xps file and if it can open it, it renders it in wrong way.
• dejuv: searching & copying Arabic text are fine since dejuv back-end has it own search function.
• odt: there is broken in LTR or RTL. There is no text to search at all.
• chm: Although okular can open it but searching is bad for LTR & RTL text, it is basically broken.
