When I’m trying to remember a word, I get a lot of associated detail, usually including something about the sound of the word. Initial sound, number of syllables, that sort of thing—did you get something about the sound?
Very very rarely. Usually if I could get to a confident feeling about the sound-shape of the word, I had the word.
This contrasts with my normal word-search experience, which is similar to what you describe, and I suspect the exceptions were cases where I would have had trouble finding the word even without the anomia.
