It could be some text anomaly. I'd suspect an invisible leading 
character in front of the patient name in the field or something like 
that. "Find" only finds the beginnings of words, "find string" finds the 
string anywhere. So if "find string" works, then there must be a 
non-matching character at the front of one of the words.

I know this doesn't make sense if "find" works okay without marking, but 
it is something to check anyway.
