You are correct this would find text not visible on the screen.
Remember that before doing this in a HTML or other content area you
will need to interact with that area or control first.

Agreed. Its one of the few nice things that the virtual buffer
architecture buys you.
How about using the item list (vo+i) and typing characters to narrow
the search? I thought the items list was constructed from all the
text in the window, regardless of visibility. Can anyone confirm
this?

Subject: VoiceOver find
The issue I have with VoiceOVer find is that the text to be found
must be visually on the page before it will work. Should you be
attempting to find a word far down on a long webpage VoiceOVer
find will fail. A blind person would have no idea if the word they
were looking for was visually on the page or not. This limits the
usefulness of VoiceOver find.
