The output is correct, /dev/sony is present. The grep command will match any part of a line that matches. You probably want to use the -w flag for exact word search.

pdfgrep
pdfgrep(1) USER COMMANDS pdfgrep(1)
NAME
pdfgrep - search pdf files for a regular expression
SYNOPSIS
pdfgrep [OPTION...] PATTERN FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Search for PATTERN in each FILE. PATTERN is an extended regular expression.
pdfgrep works much like grep, with one distinction: It operates on pages and not on lines.
OPTIONS
-i, --ignore-case
Ignore case distinctions in both the PATTERN and the input files.
-H, --with-filename
Print the file name for each match. This is the default setting when there is more than one file to search.
-h, --no-filename
Suppress the prefixing of file name on output. This is the default setting when there is only one file to search.
-n, --page-number
Prefix each match with the number of the page where it was found.
-c, --count
Suppress normal output. Instead print the number of matches for each input file. Note that unlike grep, multiple matches on the same
page will be counted individually.
-C, --context NUM
Print at most NUM characters of context around each match. The exact number will vary, because pdfgrep tries to respect word bound-
aries. If NUM is "line", the whole line will be printed. If this option is not set, pdfgrep tries to print lines that are not longer
than the terminal width.
--color WHEN
Surround file names, page numbers and matched text with escape sequences to display them in color on the terminal. (The default set-
ting is auto).
WHEN can be:
always Always use colors, even when stdout is not a terminal.
never Do not use colors.
auto Use colors only when stdout is a terminal.
-R, -r, --recursive
Recursively search all files (restricted by --include and --exclude) under each directory.
--exclude=GLOB
Skip files whose base name matches GLOB. See glob(7) for wildcards you can use. You can use this option multiple times to exclude
more patterns. It takes precedence over --include. Note, that in- and excludes apply only to files found via --recursive and not to
the argument list.
--include=GLOB
Only search files whose base name matches GLOB. See --exclude for details. The default is *.pdf.
--unac Remove accents and ligatures from both the search pattern and the PDF documents. This is useful if you want to search for a word
containing 'ae', but the PDF uses the single character 'ae' instead. See unac(3) and unaccent(1) for details.
[This option is experimental and only available if pdfgrep is compiled with unac support.]
-q, --quiet
Suppress all normal output to stdout. Errors will be printed and the exit codes will be returned (see below).
--help Print a short summary of the options.
-V, --version
Show version information
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
The behavior of pdfgrep is affected by the following environment variable.
GREP_COLORS
Specifies the colors and other attributes used to highlight various parts of the output. The syntax and values are like GREP_COLORS
of grep. See grep(1) for more details. Currently only the capabilities mt, ms, mc, fn, ln and se are used by pdfgrep, where mt, ms
and mc have the same effect on pdfgrep.
EXIT STATUS
Normally, the exit status is 0 if at least one match is found, 1 if no match is found and 2 if an error occurred. But if the --quiet or -q
option is used and a match was found, pdfgrep will return 0 regardless of errors.
