Thanks for the message. It's supposed to select the row where the target value is found (if any).
I'm surprised that you found that it fails on string values (I was aware that 1.2.0 had an issue on numeric variables). I will investigate to see if I can reprodice this.

I created a new string variable, country, and typed in some values. Then searched for the string value. Nothing happened. I assume it's supposed to highlight that row or give it focus or something. If so, it seems to be broken.
