G'day Tony,
going by Blair's comments that it was searchable,
I thought maybe it was "layered"

to wit:

PDF Searchable Image is a PDF Image Only document with the addition of a
text layer beneath the image. This approach inexpensively retains the look
of the original page while enabling text searchability. This balanced
approach is especially suitable for documents that have to be searchable but
would be too expensive to recompose. The text layer is created by an Optical
Character Recognition (OCR) application that scans the text on each page. It
then creates a PDF file with the recognized text stored in a layer beneath
the image of the text.

Hi Rod.
Remember that a PDF file is searchable ONLY IF it was created searchable.
There are many programs that can create PDF files but not all can create
searchable PDF files.

'Mornin Tony,
I hope it can be resolved,
It is a marvelous resource discovered by Blair.
I am wondering if I have some setting needing selection.
Rod.

Hi Rod.
I am using Fox Reader 2.3 and I cannot search the India book. And yes,
I do have the JPEG2000 plugin installed.
