    If you did want to still use your laptop you might find some help at one of these links.

    Google search “can I make pdf searchable” – https://shorturl.at/n5QRd

    How to search for a word or phrase in a PDF in Ubuntu – https://en.ubunlog.com/search-pdf/

    There are various online OCR tools like http://www.pdf2go.com that allow you to upload your PDF and convert it to a searchable format. I’ve used this before and it works. It finds the words on the page but doesn’t highlight them. The large Service Manual may take 20-25 min. to convert. https://www.pdf2go.com/
