I was previously able to use the "search in this document" when viewing a PDF in Safari. This no longer works and I always get "No Matches" when the word is actually in the PDF document. I installed the Chrome app and its "Find in Page" function is grayed out on PDFs so I can't search a PDF for text using it either.

I have uninstalled Adobe Reader and reset all iPhone settings under General and it still doesn't work. I am using iOS 8.1.2 and iPhone 6.
 
I, too, can't search a PDF (on my iPhone 6 Plus). So, all I can suggest is to open the PDF in iBooks and conduct the search there. Sorry.

I also have a 6 Plus and so does my wife (hers has the same problem). I wouldn't think it would make a difference if it was a Plus or not but I may be wrong.
