Hello Ahmad,
Do you have 500+ alignments, or an alignment with 500+ sequences? Select | Find should highlight the next match of your search pattern in the alignment which has focus. You may have fallen foul of a bug whereby Find matched results in hidden regions. This is fixed in the next release of Jalview (2.11), due out any day now. If this wasn't your problem, please let us know more details if possible. Moving a sequence to top: you are right, there is no direct way to do this in Jalview, and we could consider adding one. As a workaround you could: 1) Edit | Cut and Edit | Paste the sequence to a new alignment window 2) Select all (remaining) sequences, Copy, and Paste in the new window This would leave the target sequence at the top (and will be quicker than clicking 'Up' arrow a few hundred times!).

I had to scan the entire list by eye to find it, but then there is the problem of moving it to the top, is there any other way to do it besides clicking ctrl and up for 5 minutes?!
