Implement "search" PDF Open Parameter in PDF Viewer

Project Member Reported by hnakashima@chromium.org, Dec 6 2017

Issue description

Implement the "search=" PDF open parameter that is specified in:
http://www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/acrobat/pdfs/pdf_open_parameters.pdf

Some details make this hard:
- We are not able to make the browser perform a search from the PDF plugin
- A list of searchable terms can be passed rather than only one

This will probably need to be a custom search implemented inside PDFium. As such, the effort for this is fairly large.

That would be good, but it's complicated to get the browser to perform a search from within the plugin. I think this is one of those features not worth the time to implement.

Is the plugin or the interface between browser and plugin dramatically different than in firefox which has pdf search? Just wondering how that works.
