Kenji, Stephen and Ron, Thanks for all your input and suggestions. As a matter of fact, I tried things like "find string the text of me" and "find words the text of me" before, to no avail. As I mentioned in my first message, even the beep command didn't work with returnInField, so something more than just details of search operations must have been involved.
Anyway, I created a new field with the same specifications as the previous search field and, lo and behold, it's not only happily beeping but "find string me" works, too! That's most encouraging. The strange thing is that both fields, the troublesome and the new one, are practically identical, apart from their position and slightly different size. I checked the object inspector and didn't find any factor which could explain the discrepancy in behaviour. Pretty mindboggling. Again, thanks for your kind help.
