If the FrameMaker file originated in Microsoft Word, try saving as MIF; 
open the MIF file, and save again as .fm.
Alternatively, try using Find backwards.

Not related to text searches, but a search for paragraph tags in a table is 
known to skip every other instance (Find backwards is of help here as well).
