When you do a find, rev puts a box around the found text. if you then 
do "find empty" it gets rids of the box and resets the find position. I 
think this might be the workaround you are looking for.

Alternatively, consider using lineOffset to get the relevant line 
number and then set the vScroll of the field to the number of the line 
* the textHeight.
