Thanks for replying, David.
It's quite unlikely that "find text" be really broken, as it's used thousands times a day in a wide range of situations, so there might be something new to know, could you please send the PDF my way?

If I put in “starting at” set to the position of the first find, plus one, it generated an error, indicating that there were no further hits. But there clearly are. And most of the occurrences of the string are in the same case as the search string I provided.
