That is one of the dumbest, most hostile behaviors I have ever seen in an editor (but TSO edit isn't unique here). If I do a find and get no hits (very possibly because I mistyped the search target) a well-behaved editor should leave the file position unchanged.
I disagree, although having an option would be more user friendly, as would optional first and last operands on FIND. Additionally to Pauls' remark let me point to the powerful Macro Facility of ISPF EDIT. You can easliy -if you want- create a personal, let's say XFIND, command, that remembers the cursor position and stays on the last found line in case no further hits are found.
