Whenever you report a problem like this, it's very useful if you also
include the ROM version...the entire ROM name (if downloaded from the
Palm web site) or the device you sucked it out of is also handy.
For example, in this situation glue code does different things,
depending on whether you're running on pre-3.1, pre-3.5, or >= 3.5
versions of the ROM.

This sounds like a different, unrelated problem.

If you're passing your own search string to FindStrInStr or
TxtFindString, then this string has to be "prepared" via a call to
TxtGluePrepFindString. Currently for Latin this just does a
case-remapping and strips diacriticals, but that could change in the
future. For Japanese it jumps through all kinds of hoops, including
forcing everything to be a wide (two-byte) character.
So yes, you do need to call this routine if you're using custom search strings.
