Preview in Snow Leopard has bad search?

09.09.09 | Comment?

This is crazy. I almost can’t believe and am assuming I am missing something. I upgraded to Snow Leopard last week, but today was the first day I had to search for a term in Preview, Apple’s PDF viewer. It is horrible! They have some new features in Preview I like with the search (page relevance for one), but I want the list of hits along the side — with surrounding text just like with Google — not what they have now which is just the pages. It makes searching through large legal documents very difficult without word matches on the side.

So much so I’ll have to find a Preview replacement unless there is a hidden way to enable this feature.

The annoying bit is on the side:
