This is under 64 bit Ubuntu 13.10 (running in Vmware under Windows 8.1 if that matters). It first happened under v16 but upgrading to v18 made no difference.
The installation has worked fine for three weeks but today "find" could not find text in a file which I knew was there and could see. I reduced the problem down to where I could see that "i" was matched but "m" was not. I created a new file containing "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" and find worked normally. If I pasted the test sequence into the failing file and search for an "i" it is not found in sequence but an "i" in "int" on the next line is matched.
Suspecting a corrupt installation of some kind (and wanting to upgrade to v18 anyway) I blew away /opt/slickedit and installed v18.0.1.2. The project opened as normal but the crazy behaviour persists. The bug persists across a reboot (VM and the real PC). Case-sensitive, whole-word and regex are all "off". The file is just a small cpp file, 1058 lines.
As far as I know SE does not cache an internal representation of the working files in some cache file. If it does I could clear that cache.
Any ideas?

I resolved this (for now) by moving ~/.slickedit to another name and recreating my config by going through the initial configuration dialogs. Since the symptoms first appeared in v16 and continued after I upgraded to v18 something in my v16 config must have become corrupt and was imported into v18.

Double-check to ensure no Color options are enabled; that is usually a culprit when some matches are found while others are not.
(The "Color..." button in the Find and Replace dialog should say "Colors: None")
