I am not sure whether this is a mozilla or arobat reader bug. Anyway when any
pdf file is embedded in mozilla the search function does not find anything (it
reports always 0 instances found).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to any page where there is a link to a pdf file
2.click on the link
3.type CTRL+F
4. type any word that you know is in the file

Actual Results:  
No results are displayed

Expected Results:  
You should get a list of all the occurrences of the word in the pdf file

Of course the search function works when one opens a pdf file from a normal
acrobat reader window. It seems to me that this did not occur with acrobat
reader 5 but I may be wrong (I have uninstalled it since).

I have this exact same issue.  Searching even for the word 'and' will come back
with 0 results.  Searching from the actually Reader 6 application works.  I want
to say that the search in the plugin in other browsers works, but when I closed
Firebird and then reopened it, the search worked.  But more often than not it
does not.  But like you, I don't know if it's the browser or plugin.  Acrobat
always sucked as a product.
Worksforme with Mozilla 1.7 Alpha and Acrobat 6.0 on windows xp.
