When you try to use the Find dialog to search for something on the sheet, it will not auto-wrap the search. This means that once you press Enter until all matching strings have been found, it won't find the string anymore! This makes the Find dialog appear to be broken. Please add an indicator that says "1/8 matches" for instance, to show which matching string you're on, then have it increment as you press Enter: "2/8 matches", "3/8 matches" etc. Once you get to the end, have it auto-wrap back to the first match, instead of doing nothing, which is what it currently does.
A work-around is to simply search for a new string one time, then put your original string back in and hit enter repeatedly to look at all of the matches again. This is NOT intuitive, however, and took me a while to figure out. Initially I just thought the Find dialog was broken.
Turn on the "Wrap around end of search list" checkbox.
