The function does not receive words but characters. The comparison between the text in the PDF and the search query is performed char by char. `from` is a char in the PDF and `to` is a char in the search query. Therefore, the actual behaviour is:

```
from = "\n"
to = " "
returns true
```

As a result, the phrase "hola\nadios" in the PDF generates a match when the search query is "hola adios".
