Using (e.g.) Version 2024.002.20759 (64 bit), open the attached PDF document (just a test document), press Ctrl+F and type "QR-code" (without quotation marks). This shows a "No results found - Try another search item" box under the search window. The document very obviously contains the term "QR-code" twice, so it is simply wrong to suggest that no results exist.
However, if you press the enter key now, the search actually does (correctly) find two results and lets you navigate through them.
Quite clearly, the result suggestions are only indexed on whole words or something. But it is simply not excusable to have "no results found" displayed on screen when the program actually means "press enter to check if there are any results, we don't have any indexed ones available". (Side note: Indexing only on words and not on any substrings is weak. What year are we in again?)
If there are no immediate results (but search has not been performed exhaustively), there should just be nothing displayed. I can't stress this enough: It is critical that users don't see the words "no results" after typing a search term when that search term actually _does_ exist in the document.
