Default Word freezes using ^p to search text files

Use Wordpad to create a text file, such as:

abcd
efgh
ijkl
mnop
abcd
efgh
ijkl
mnop

Open file in Word 2007. (I'm on Vista, 64-bit.) Use standard Find to
search for
"d^p" (i.e. d at the end of a line). Word will find the d at the end of the
first line. Search again. Word goes into neverneverland, searching forever
and eating up CPU. (You can stop it by pressing Esc.)

I've found various workarounds, but the behavior is annoying. Bug?
