By OldStyle numbers, do you mean numbers in an OldStyle font, or numbers represented in a font that are not mapped to the standard digit ASCII codes?

OldStyle figures or text figures [1], as integral part of fine

figures).

As for why they're not searchable when a font is embedded, that's a good 
question I hope some of devs can provide an answer to.
