Try adding a diagnostic line to check the value of the selection:

   on mouseUp
      select the clickline
      put the selectedtext into wordToFind
      find string wordToFind in field "TestFld2"
      put wordToFind & the result
      find string "Cafe (das)" in field "TestFld2"
      put wordToFind && (wordToFind = "Cafe (das)") --<
   end mouseUp
