Screenshot of different line break handling in acroread and evince

As reported in https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622160 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300992:

"[...] as shown in the attached screenshot, seems to be twofold:

1.) sentences spanning across line breaks are not recognized as continuous and
aren't taken up by the inbuilt search (lower part of screenshot)

2.) single phrases spanning across line breaks aren't recognized as being
continuous, either. There does not seem to be any difference between hyphenated
and regular phrases in this. Searching for "main-tenance" in the example above
doesn't return any results, either.

Neither of these problems exist in proprietary solutions such as Adobe Reader
or Foxit. I think it can be argued that fixing this issue is quite important as
it greatly diminishes the inbuilt search capabilities of evince."

When I can reproduce the same behavior with in poppler-glib-demo (poppler
0.22.1) with any document with hyphenated word and regular phrases as explained
in the bug report.
