Kiwix "find" not finding a text in .zim? #4483

Description

@mnalis

Searching for some words does not find them, even when they are present in text.

Describe the bug
I search for some text which I know is present in .zim file, but Kiwix does not find it

Expected behavior
If the word exists in a .zim, Kiwix should find and open it (i.e. full text search should be possible)

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. download https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#openstreetmap-wiki_en_all_maxi_2025-07
  2. open it in Kiwix
  3. search (magnifying glass icon) for dizalica
  4. note no results
  5. search for shop=hvac
  6. open Tag:shop=hvac page
  7. scroll to the bottom
  8. see text dizalica topline (under "Related terms")
