The problem: 'find' will find text in a field that was specifically not
asked for.

The reason: the card field name is translated to a card field number. It found 
text in the field with the same number, even though it had a different name.

This is something to watch out for if you 'find' in card fields (since every
card might have different ones), or even in background fields when there is
more than one background.
