I did try searching, even rebuilt the search index; but could not find "pdf.js"...

Hi @Shafeeq Hamza
Glad you worked it out, the issue with not being able to find "pdf.js" in the prefs search is due to mysql having a minimal search term length of four characters. We have a similar issue i think with H5P as reported by @luciash d' being 🧙 (it works fine with elasticsearch, but that's not much help i know!)

Not sure how to fix it (you can change the mysql ft_min_word_len in the my.conf file, but only if you have root access, i suppose we could add keywords like pdfdotjs but would anyone think of searching for that?

Any better ideas any one?

One of the non-elegant solutions suggested on another forum is to pre-test the keyword length and either construct a 'like' based search for text shorter than 4 characters; otherwise go with the full-text 'match'...
