 * A document can provide different forms of information about textual representation
 * of its contents. It can include information about positions of every character on the
 * page, this is the best possibility.
 *
 * But also it can provide information only about positions of every word on the page (not the character).
 * Furthermore it can provide information only about the position of the whole page's text on the page.
 *
 * Also some document types have glyphes - sets of characters rendered as one, so in search they should
 * appear as a text but are only one character when drawn on screen. We need to allow this.
