I have this problem with my Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and also a similar problem
exist when text is copied from right-to-left documents: order of letters
are correct in each words, but the words them selves are arranged in
reverse order. Is such a way that @Mohammad explained, if you copy a
sentence such as "hello to world" and paste it (in any program), it will
paste "world to hello". But this problem is present only in right-to-
left dosument. A real example is "سلام بر همه" is pasted as "همه بر
سلام"!

Title:
  document viewer search problem in right to left languages

Status in Evince document viewer:
  Confirmed
Status in “evince” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi
  when I use the search functionality in document viewer, it searches the letters as if they are written left to right. That is not a problem in english or any left to right language. However, this is a problem in right to left languages. I used it particularly with arabic but I guess it is the same for any other right to left language.
  In order for the program to detect a right to left word, the word needs to be written in reverse in the search box.
  I will give an english example since the words are easier to understand by everyone but the problem actually only occurs with right to left languages.
  if I want to search for the word 'hello', I need to type it in reverse as 'olleh' in the search box.

  I am using ubuntu 12.04.

  Thank you in advance
