I have found that "filtering", rather than "searching" does a better job for me. After setting up a filter and turning it "on", you can move through the results in the "scroll area", (not the sheet area), and the table scrolls automatically to keep up with your movements in the "scroll area". So, when you find what you were looking for in the filter results, uninteract with the scroll area, and move to and interact with the table and you'll be positioned on that table row where you can do your editing if needed. Its important to note that in the filter results scroll area, you first interact with the text chunk (which is the filter results, but looks like a single object to VO), and then you move around through the results with the arrow keys and *not* the VO arrow keys.
