PDF display is bust here. Maybe Adobe's new update for the viewer messed it up.
If I find a file based on its name, and then try to search for a word within the results, it shows the first occurrence of the search word. But pressing "+" does not get me to the next word. Instead the display reverts to the first page of the document and the screen refreshes itself about every 10 seconds. (It does this for all files in the find list, navigating to the next file does not even show the first hit.)

Another symptom of the behaviour is that X1 positions itself on top of the Search Window if I try to use "Ctrl + F" on the PDF viewer pane.
A consequence of this is that I can no longer do anything in X1. It is frozen because it is expecting me to do something with the Find pane. But I cannot get at that pane because the screen keeps refreshing itself and sitting on top of it. Alt Tab shows no hidden Window. It won't even let me switch to X1 because that is invisible to Alt Tab.
Likewise Cascade Windows. I have to kill X1 from the Notification Area.
None of this changes if I pause indexing. Still bust.
In other words, X1 Search 8.1 is effectively useless for PDF files.
I see the same behaviour of I use the "All Files" search as well as my saved PDF search.
Fortunately, good old X1 6.7 behaves properly. I knew there was a good reason to keep it running. Looks like I will have to use it until someone fixes Search 8.1, or tells me how to change things at my end.
