Dehyphenate does no longer work since 1.27.1

Originally posted by kai-36 May 17, 2026 From the documentation, I understand that by default, search_for will detect for hyphenated words at the end of a line, and join it with the first word in the next line. However, I'm not sure why it's not working for me.

This is a segment of the output from page.get_text():

If replicated on a large scale, this would, in theory, enable the ocean to soak up more of the planet-warming gas driving cli- mate change.

When I call page.search_for("climate"), it detects "climate" that appear as a whole in the page, but not the hyphenated one.

The text is extracted from a PDF file, and it is justified, if that matters.
