I already know how to load and display a PDF document.
The problem is that I cannot select the text or search within the text

Cocoa/Quartz provide no mechanisms for getting at the structured

Do you know how to display a PDF file and let the user select and
search
within the text?
Yes, see PostView. You can use a framework such as EGOS, which will
parse the PDF (or Postscript) and give you objects to play with.
Panther's Preview has also been announced to have this capability,
though it was not revealed wether this capability would be generally
available.
