Remarks
FindText searches for the given text string from the selected text's active end to the end of the text document. The return value indicates whether the text is found. If the text is found, the edit point is moved to the beginning of the match. Otherwise, the edit location is unchanged.
If the matched pattern is a regular expression and contains tagged subexpressions, then the Tags argument returns a collection of TextRange objects, one for each tagged subexpression.

' Looks for the first occurence of the word, test, in the current
' document. If found, the line is selected.
If objSel.FindText("test", vsFindOptions.vsFindOptionsFromStart) Then
objSel.SelectLine()
End If
