g_list_find() will only work if you know the exact pointer value of the string 
you inserted into the list, it will not check whether the contents, ie. the 
strings itself, are the same (so it's most likely not what you want).

GList *node;

node = g_list_find_custom (list, 
                                          "Find this", 
                                          (GCompareFunc) strcmp);

  or

node = g_list_find_custom (list, 
                                          "Find this",
                                          (GCompareFunc) g_ascii_strcasecmp);
should do the trick.
