That is true for (almost?) all apps.  If the Find window is active,
click in the content window, and the highlighting will revert to the
one you can see.  You can then use Command-G to locate additional
instances of the found item.

If you update your system so you can use TextEdit 1.9, you won't have
this problem because there is no Find window; instead, the Find
function is at the top of the content window, and the result is
highlighted normally.  Also, additional found items are highlighted in
white against a medium grey background.  Here is an example:
