and behold - search functions works flawlessly.

Title:
  Searching Hebrew text works in reverse order

Status in Poppler:
  Confirmed
Status in poppler package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Hi,

  There is problem searching Hebrew text in pdf files in evince. The
  text I write in the find box is being found in reverse (perhaps in
  visual order), and not in the right order of characters. The searching
  works in Adobe Acrobat, so I'm guessing its not a problem in the pdf
  file itself.

  I'll attach an example pdf.

  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Open the attached pdf.
  2. Search for the word "ידיעון" (The letter "י" is the first in logical order). The text is not found in the file.
  2. Search for the reversed word "ןועידי". (The letter "ן" is first in logical order). The text is found in reverse in the file.

  Regards,
  Haggai Eran
