Text search within plans

Thanks for the input. We're working on some background "web worker" stuff that will make this work well. We are storing the original PDF, so we have access to the data for searching. Some of the framework we are building right now for "web workers" will allow searching and many other things that can utilize multiple cores of the CPU for more efficient access to the data for searching, point data extraction (snapping to PDF points), more AI features, and a lot more.

Excellent, thanks Heber!

Wanted to share something relating to this topic.

In other software, text searches through PDFs sometimes fail, even with the text literally sitting right on a page clear as day. I guess this is because of the way the PDFs were created?

I hope that when you add this functionality, you'll figure out a way to overcome whatever causes this.

(Just noticed Case Sensitive was selected there, but it failed to find that text string even after unselecting it)

Good info Jes. I'm guessing the app that exported the data converted this to "vector" points/lines instead of actual text. We will keep this in mind when we get to making the text search.

This will be huge. Would be way better than using a separate pdf viewer to ocr
