Just to clarify: my issue is the user interface. I feel I've been
mislead when the app say's it didn't find a word, where in reality no
search took place.

Okay, the example:
I printed this bug report page, scanned it with simple-scan, now it's a PDF. 
Open with Evince, ctrl-f and search for "pedro". Result is "0 found".

This really is easily reproducible by anyone.

I think someone with a good knowledge of the technicalities of PDF
should be able to quickly assess this and determine if it can be fixed.

Find (ctrl-f) can be used even though the pdf-file has no searchable text.
