open pdf and search for 'suf' you will find sufficient statistic on page 20.

try searching for 'sufficient' or 'suff' then nothing gets found

Strange, in a quick test that seems to be the only word in the document that
does not find correctly.  Everything else works just fine.
Comment 3 bugreports 2005-03-15 10:10:25 UTC 
discussion in #evince gives the explanation: 'fi' is a ligature and thus
searching for suf works but suff not anymore. there needs to be some clever
trick (i.e. additional code) to also find words that contain ligatures
