FrameMaker 9 Find not Finding

I'm running Frame 9 on Win7 and have experienced a lot of 
unreliability in Frame's Find function. I don't use conditional text 
or text insets, and the text I'm trying to find is not a variable or 
specially formatted. Frame is just blind to it sometimes. I can 
position the cursor immediately before the text I'm searching for and 
Frame says it's not there. There is no consistency or predictability 
to this behavior. It is just something I've had to accept as a head-scratcher.
