When a search is being performed, the status bar, which is shown in the lower corner of the application window, displays a progress control. For more information, see Status Bar. Once you enter the text string for Find what and click Find Next to start or resume the search, the progress control reflects the status of the search.

The search is considered to be 100% complete once the last record in the current search range is reached. For example, when searching down through records, 100% is reached when the last table record is searched. A window then opens, asking whether you want to resume the search at the beginning of the table records. If you click Yes, the progress control resets to 0%. The search then resumes, reaching 100% when the record at which the original search was started is reached.
