find-sibling-file--search is there to find matches in the
`find-sibling-rules' variable, which is a user option, and returns
values in an order that's appropriate for the commmand.  It sounds like
you want something slightly different, really -- pass in the rules,
perhaps?  But I'm not sure that really makes that much sense, either,
because associating org files with a pdf sounds like something you'd
want a data file for, really...
