Mac OS X: Bug in Snow Leopard's Preview
Bug in Snow Leopard's Preview

Go ahead and download a PDF of your most recent bank statement, or any PDF that has a bunch of dollar amounts in it. Then, do a find for one of the dollar amounts. For example, do a find for: 50.00
Preview will no longer find a match for 50.00... instead, it will find any instance of "50" or "00" in your entire PDF file. It uses the decimal point as some sort of a delimiter, and it makes Preview believe that you are doing 2 completely separate searches.
Good find!

That's a good find. It happens for me just as you described. I'll post it on MacFixIt ASAP, and hopefully readers can help confirm it and send bug reports to Apple.
