- Worth noticing
- PDF redactions cover matching text but leave the original bytes underneath; the page warns against using them for legally sensitive material.
Field notes
For PDFs, the page describes finding matches in the text layer and placing a solid block at each match’s coordinates; the original text data remains underneath. EPUB handling instead edits the chapter HTML and repacks the book. The page also specifies two practical limits: scanned PDFs without selectable text will not work, and whole-word or phrase matching can be disabled when a search returns no matches.
