This bug is also present in evince. My comment in the bugreport there
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622160) fully applies to Okular as
well:

The problem here, as
shown in the attached screenshot, seems to be twofold:

1.) sentences spanning across line breaks are not recognized as continuous and
aren't taken up by the inbuilt search (lower part of screenshot)

2.) single phrases spanning across line breaks aren't recognized as being
continuous, either. There does not seem to be any difference between hyphenated
and regular phrases in this. Searching for "main-tenance" in the example above
doesn't return any results, either.

Neither of these problems exist in proprietary solutions such as Adobe Reader
or Foxit. I think it can be argued that fixing this issue is quite important as
it greatly diminishes the inbuilt search capabilities.
