(Get the code!)
This is obviously not an improvement. Marking this as "In progress" again.
First of all, if you test development versions, there is no need to install the program. You skip "$ sudo make install" and replace the last step by "./qpdfview". This way you don't touch your existing installation of a older version.
Now we need to find out why it does not work for you. Can you attach one of the files that caused the crash? This would help me testing.
Also just entering text without the "Highlight option" enabled currently does nothing. The highlight should only appear after you activate "Find previous" or "Find next." (It seems this will have to change as well after this runs reliably.)
Pinning the CPU seems very possible currently as there currently is no way to stop a running search. So if a search is still running and you type in a new word, the program first waits for the old search to finish. This will probably have to change as well.
Hopefully I will be able to reproduce some of this behaviour.
