I don't know, I was talking about finding a thing in a suddenly-appearing large sea of similar things. Does a human ever become skilled at very quickly finding Waldo? Maybe if I hadn't stretched out my game window, it would have been easier. Also, my fortress was near the edge of the map, so the view usually couldn't center itself on things inside. Or rather, the programmer doesn't think it needs to be able to center itself on the map's edge so he didn't bother allowing that. :(

It's not all that big a deal though. It's not like I had to find a crocodile every thirty seconds or anything. It's okay for that operation to be somewhat slow. Finding dwarves on the other hand... well, I'll play around with it.
