Given that the app has called FindSaveMatch *before* the user taps the
screen to select a Find result line, one wonders what the appCustom
parameter has to do with anything and where David's input got filtered
out before reaching Joe's cortex :-).

Right.  I think I could argue either side of the former :-).

If you look at the Find source code, you see that the entries that the
user taps on are actually a table.  So the tap location data have long
since been thrown away.  Looking at that code, you could conceivably
write a Hack to preserve the information you want, but you'd have to be
absolutely crazy.  I don't think you're missing anything.
