I was able to resolve the issue with searching a PDF in Evince on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 by following these steps.

1. Launch "Software & Updates".
2. Select "Developer Options" tab.
3. Uncheck "Pre-released updates (xenial-proposed)
4. Follow these instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/11/how-to-downgrade-proposed-repository.html
5. Reboot, searching works in PDFs using Evince.
