Problem finding text in a QTextEdit

[Lykurg]

and what is

qWarning() << documentEdit->textCursor()->position();

qWarning() << documentEdit->textCursor()->position();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

saying? before opening your search dialag make sure that the text cursor is at the front of the text. If then still is false return please make a minimal compilable example and post it.
