search box.
Type the word or phrase you want to look for and a search will start
automatically.
The Find Previous and Find Next buttons let you skip from

If the word or phrase you searched does not appear in the entire file Evince will say Not found. However, if it appears in the file at least once, Evince will tell you how many times the word you searched occurs on each page. This is apparent if you skip from one result to another as described above or scroll through the file.
Some documents are not searchable because the original text of the document has been converted into a different format. For example, some PDF's and many PostScript (.ps) files are not searchable.
