     Seems to me that you have solved your own problem: it is the 
fonts. The search function can not handle the the lovely typesetting 
things. As you mentioned, an "i" looks like a "hi" to it. The only real 
solution is to not use any of the Graphite fonts in a PDF.
     But if you want to search the PDF, have you opened it in Draw and 
search for the text in it?
