--- Comment #2 from nicholas <ndcunliffe at gmail.com> ---
so the command instructs evince to open on the specified page and
highlight/move to the first occurrence of the word

from http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/evince.1.html

*--page-index=NUMBER*
              Open the document on the page  with  the  specified  page  index
              (this is the exact page number, not a page label).

*--find=string*
              You  can  pass  a word or phrase here. If it exists, evince will
              display the document and the first match.


the actual command "evince --page-index=%p --find=%s %f" is copied from
recoll (http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/recoll/)
in "user preferences"-> "choose editor applications" i can use okular here,
but cannot get the same functionality which is very important (i have had
to install evince for this single use case!)

since you have documentation and application (evince) to benchmark, I
assume this is clear?
