Title:
  highlighted find entry does not correspond to current page

Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  1. open a PDF

  2. open the find functionality (<ctrl>-f).

  3. type a common word like "the".

  4. click on one of the matches on the left.

  5. move to another page with "the" on it.

  6. click the "find next" button (or <ctrl-g>).

  EXPECTED:
     one of the "the"s on the current page is highlighted.

  ACTUAL:
     the next the on the original page is highlighted.

  COMMENTARY:
  The problem is that I often use the find so that all the occurences of a word are highlighted.  I find a particular occurrence and then scroll while looking at the context.   There is no quick and easy way to know which match I am currently looking at.
