Hypercard data

I am a technologically-challenged new user of Runtime Revolution. I 
bought it to transfer my Hypercard files from an older iMac to an iMac 
running System X. I have figured out how to open my files in 
Revolution, but can't figure out how to go to a specific word or phrase 
in the data. On my older computer I simply open Find and type "whole 
'Art Blakey'" or "whole 'Crazy Rhythm'" (it's a catalog of my jazz 
records, with a separate "card" for each recording). Hitting Return 
takes me directly to each recording in turn. In Revolution, when I go 
to Find and Replace and enter my search word, it grinds away and 
eventually gives me a list of six-digit numbers, which are meaningless 
to me. And I haven't found a way to go to any of those recordings. 
Help!
