Why don't you unlock the locked layer?

trying to find that text, total 15 files.

You have the 'Include locked layers' button enabled, so if inDesign then gets upset that you found something on a locked layer, I'd say that that's a bug.

Hm. I'm not sure about this.

When you use the "Find Next" button InDesign should select the found object.

On a locked layer this is not possible.

InDesign happily selects found text on a locked layer (provided you enable 'Include locked layers')
