Looking for a PDF reader with search feature.

^^^^^^

Besides the official Adobe Reader. I have tried Foxit and PDF Reader, but neither have a search feature.

Okay, I have to ask... why *not* the official adobe reader?

Ususally at ctrl+F brings up a search program in any program that's text-based.

Sorry for the very late follow-up. I didn't want the Acrobat reader because it takes up more memory then I want it too, and it doesn't always properly close out.

It sounds like you might be using version 6 of Acrobat Reader which I found to be bloated and slow and buggy (wouldn't open most of the time and when it opened, it wouldn't close). If you can't find anything else and you are using version 6, uninstall it and try version 5 or 5.0.5 from www.oldversion.com.

You were right Miz, I was using version 6, I have yet to try 7 and right now I am using version 4 which has been working well, although I'm not sure if it stays in memory after closing the applications using it, since it might just for quicker start up.
