zathura-pdf-mupdf search problem

Hi!

Since an update a couple of weeks ago, I have troubles with zathura-mupdf search. I read a lot PDFs typesetted in latex. I can't search these documents anymore. In a couple of documents the search still works fine. I played around with it a bit and found out that I can find some things by putting spaces within the characters of the word. For example, let's say I'm trying to find "blabla", then I have to type "b l a b l a". But it was working before and I installed zathura-pdf-poppler to test. Here the search works fine but poppler is terribly slow with large documents. Is anybody experiencing the same problem or knows a solution?
Thank you!

I experience the same issue as you.

Searching words only works using whitespaces between characters. But nothing is found. zathura-pdf-poppler does not have this issue.

Not all pdfs typeset with latex have this in my experience, but a lot of them do. Especially the more basic one's I've made myself. So maybe this is a thing fixable from latex/another tool?
