I'm just regurgitating what the websites tell me. When I go to
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/alternate.html
if you go down to the bottom you see:

Acrobat Reader 5.0.8 with Search
Acrobat Reader 5.0.8 ï¿½ English for IBMï¿½ AIXï¿½ 18MB
Acrobat Reader 5.0.8 ï¿½ English for HP-UX 14MB
Acrobat Reader 5.0.8 ï¿½ English for Sunï¿½ Solarisï¿½ SPARCï¿½ 9.5MB

Acrobat Reader 5.0.8
Acrobat Reader 5.0.8 ï¿½ English for Linuxï¿½ 8.9MB

where the "with Search" means an intelligent search functionality (not just a "find in
page" type of search).

From http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/ac76.htm:

Choosing Adobe Reader with search and accessibility functions

When you download Adobe Reader from Adobe's Web site, you can choose the basic version or
the expanded version with search and accessibility functions. These added functions allow
you to do the following:
-- Search a collection of PDF documents on a CD-ROM or a local file system. (This function
requires an index file created in Acrobat.)
...[snip]...

To determine if an installed version of Adobe Reader has search and accessibility functions:
1. In Adobe Reader, choose Help > About Adobe Plug-ins.
2. In the About Adobe Plug-ins dialog box, the list on the left side indicates all
plug-ins that are enabled:
-- Search indicates that the version has search functions.
-- Acrobat Accessibility and Make Accessible indicates that the version has accessibility
functions.

When you download for linux systems, you aren't given a choice of "basic" or "expanded"
... basic is all their is. If you switch the platform to "Windows XP" you then see there
are more options -- including the Search plug-in. If you do the
Help > About Adobe Plug-ins
thing, there is no "Search" listed.

If there is a way to get acroread for linux with the Search plug in, I would love to know how.
