Mupdf: finding hyphenated words in PDF file

When I search for a word in a PDF file using mupdf. It, only, finds the whole word. For example, searching for the word “meaningless” will find the whole word: This is a short, staggeringly meaningless sentence. There is no way I can know in advance whether a word is broken over two lines – and therefore: hyphenated – or not. Searching for hyphenation explicitly would also be too cumbersome. However, when a word is wrapped at the end of a line , it will not be found. Searching for “meaningless” won’t find the word in this example: This is a short, staggeringly meaning- less sentence. The PDF viewer "Evince" behaves in the same way. Is there a (simple) way to make "Mupdf" find hyphenated terms?
