The issue reported below has been resolved in Ver 9.5 build 365.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================
Hello all,
I have found that when a search is performed for a phrase that span two lines in Japanese, the phrase is not displayed in the search results. Japanese, along with Chinese and Thai, is a language that does not allow spaces between words. This issue may be due to the fact that these language characteristics are not considered in the program implementation. Adobe Acrobat Reader and Foxit Editor Pro are searchable even for words that span lines.
Imagine the following example.
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx x
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx Japan
ese xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xx
xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx x
If you perform a search on the above example, the keyword "Japan" is a hit, but the keyword "Japanese" is not. I have only used English word as examples to illustrate this, and the actual issue occurs in a Japanese environment. This type of issue will not become apparent in English because word-wrapping rules basically do not allow words to be separated in the middle of lines.
I have attached a verification video for your reference.
I just searched for the same word "操作方法" in PDF-XChange Editor, Adobe Acrobat Reader, and Foxit Editor Pro. PDF-XChange Editor gives a total of 5 hits, while Acrobat and Foxit give a total of 6 hits. The difference in one case is where a word crosses between lines.
All software is left at its default settings, with no optional settings. The PDF file being searched in the video is PDF manual published by Jungle, a distributor of the PDF-XChange Editor in Japan. It can be downloaded from the following URL.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.
Best regards,
rakunavi
