Why is XP's ability to search text inside pdfs gone in Reader X and XI?

I've had to revert back to Reader 9.5.5 because with both X and XI I completely lose the ability to have Windows XP search for text within text-based pdf's, as it still does in other types of documents.  At first I thought there might be a problem with my installation, but I've now tested this on two other XP computers with the same result.:  XP search easily identifies text within pdf's in Reader 9, but returns no results at all in X and XI (unless the keyword happens to be in the filename).

 

I'd like to upgrade from Reader 9, but won't do it at the expense of being able to search document text with XP Search, which I find extremely useful  Any idea why this ability went away with Reader X and XI (I can't find anything re that question), and possible ways to restore it without being stuck with 9?

 

Thanks.
