To accomplish this, use the SearchText method off of the CrystalReportViewer object to search for something unique to the record you are searching for.  This will cause the viewer to jump to the page and line that the text can be found.

Example Viewer Code:

CrystalReportViewer viewer = new CrystalReportViewer();
   
viewer.setName("CrystalReportViewer");
viewer.setOwnPage(true);

//Enable Active-X print mode. 
viewer.setPrintMode(CrPrintMode.ACTIVEX);

//Obtain report source of the report that the viewer will display.   
viewer.setReportSource(MyReportObject.getReportSource());
viewer.searchText("SomeUniqueText", 0);
viewer.processHttpRequest(request, response, getServletConfig().getServletContext(), null);
