On the assumption that you posted in hopes of getting some direction on an approach that would work [if not, why bother?], a little bit of verbosity might allow someone to actually help you. But we can't on the basis of what you posted. What do you mean by "doesn't work"? What does the approach in the Message you replied to not do that you want it to, or do that you don't want? Etc., etc.

... bearing in mind that in Dimensions, FIND can work only with override text content, not with the actual-measurement text. You can't FIND all Dimensions of [for example] 1'-4" if that's their text content because it's the actual measurement, and give them override text content to replace or add to that.
@TonyRB was replying to @cadffm , whose Message suggested using QSELECT. [Maybe FIND works in a way that QSELECT "doesn't work" for them -- we can't know yet.] QSELECT is capable of finding Dimensions by measured value, or by Text override. We don't know which of those kinds of content is what anyone is looking to find, but both are "reachable" one way or another.

Neither method, QSELECT, FIND worked with the Text Override I needed to find...thank you.
FIND should do that if you're talking about Text Override content, not measured value. In addition to what @pendean pointed out [blue here], make sure the yellow-highlighted options here are on or off appropriately for what you want to find:
