hdante: the problem is that, despite appearances, the PDF in the bug
description does not contain the word 'Über'.  It contains the word
'Uber', without a diaresis.  You can see this if you copy and paste from
the document using any PDF reader, including adobe reader, google
chrome, foxit, etc.  There is a diaresis, but it is not really attached
to the 'U'.

Even so, adobe reader and chrome can still find something if you search
the document for 'über'.  What they seem to be doing is ignoring any
diacratic marks, so if you search for 'über' (or even 'ubér') it will
find 'Uber'.  I was proposing similar behavior for poppler.

Title:
  evince can not find ü in attached PDF

  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: evince

  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)
  Release:	15.04

  2) apt-cache policy evince
  evince:
    Installed: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 3.14.1-0ubuntu1
    Version table:
   *** 3.14.1-0ubuntu1 0

  3) What is expected to happen with the attached document is when one searches for:
  über

  it is found:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poppler/+bug/116453/+attachment/102979/+files/example.pdf

  4) What happens instead is it does not return any matches.

  WORKAROUND: Use the built-in PDF viewer+search with chromium-browser
  or chrome (doesn't work in Firefox).
