what is definitely missing is the option to cycle through your results. Personally I don't see the feature of displaying only the pages with a particular keyword as particularly useful/usable.

I must have looked at 100+ scientific papers in KPDF, and I really enjoyed this feature. If you've already read the paper it's a lot easier to re-find the place you were looking for by scrolling the previewer, and if you don't know the article it gives a very quick overview of how many times and where your search term occurs. When you're fumbling around in the (huge) literature for something perhaps relevant it's very helpful.

Thumbs-up to KPDF from here, keep up the good work :-)
