Hello Brian, It's perfectly possible to search for content with VO in Numbers. I just tried it and it works in Mountain Lion.
To find specific content, Turn cursor tracking off; Press Command-f and enter search term; Navigate down and interact with scroll area; Interact with table: Find desired result; Bring mouse to VO cursor and do a mouse click (VO-Shift-Space); Stop interacting with table and scroll area; Navigate up to next scroll area; Interact with scroll area, Layout area, and Layout item; You will be on the selected cell; Press VO-Shift-T to identify the cell.
