Hey Pete,
Are you using Windows 10 or 11? Also, can you confirm you see this behavior on the PDF I'm testing with https://www.anderson1.org/site/handlers/filedownload.ashx?moduleinstanceid=24440&dataid=44258&FileName=hobbit.pdf? I'm using the search term "north" and see 57 results. I'm testing in Canary Version 111.0.1615.0 (64-bit).

  Hi, sorry didn't see the response in email (or didn't get it?). I'm currently on 110.0.1587.6 Dev on Windows 11. When I search "north" I get the 1 result from the 1st page. Same thing when I do it from InPrivate (though, this time I did get something that comes up sometimes, which is that it shows "1/0" or "whatever number/0" results until I click the arrow to cycle through them and it'll get the (in)correct denominator). I'm about to update and I'll let you know if anything changes.
  
  Edit: Now on Version 110.0.1587.11 Dev (64-bit), still the same results.
