Locate text in a large drawing

Using autoCAD 2009. I have searched for this problem and could not locate the answer. I am trying to locate specific text in a drawing using the "find" tool. "Find" locates the text OK, Then when I close the dialog box, the view zooms out and I lose the location of the text. earlier vervions which I have used did not zoom out. Is there a way to locate text and stay zoomed to it, in the drawing? I also tried Quick select/text/content/"text I am searching for", to highlight the text and the highlight/grip is too small to see in a large drawing. Is there a way to zoom to the selected text? What is the best way to locate text objects in a large drawing? What tools/commands should I be exploring. Thanks in advance for your time.

As soon as you've run qselect, (do not deselect anything or press the esc key) go straight in to the zoom command by typing Z on the command line, and then type in O on the command line, it should zoom in to your text

Are you escaping out of Find or clicking close? I've used Find (in 2009) and found exactly what I needed, and it stayed where it zoomed.

Zoom/object work with only one object selected, otherwise it had problems.

I have tried closing and escaping "find", Neither work for me. Maybe a switch setting?

I believe this was a bug fixed in a SP. Do you have the latest Service Packs installed?

Thanks, I'll check on the service pack situation with IT.

The problem is fixed with he service pack. Thanks to all.
