That depends on how it was produced.  The worst case scenario is a set
of pages that were simply scanned in as images.  This isn't accessible
as text, let alone searchable.  In a better scenario, the text would be
accessible, but no indexing would have been done (so, searching would
be compromised, slow, or simply unavailable).

However, a document which was generated using a good tool chain can be
quite searchable.  Given that the manual in question starts as SGML, I
wouldn't be surprised if it can generate high-quality PDF, but Samuel
will know for sure.
