This bug has been filled in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/126530 "Binary package hint: evince When viewing pdfs in evince 0.8.1, the search function is broken in the following sense. When you press Ctrl+f, the search pane pops up at the bottom and you can search for text. If you then reload the document (via Ctrl+r), the search pane stays open, all search results are cleared but the search text is still in the input field and also the "next result" and "previous result"-buttons are still visible. But if you click on one of these buttons, nothing happens. By hiding the search pane and pressing Ctrl+f again, the search function works again."
This should be fixed in svn trunk now. Thank you very much for reporting.
