Start off by hiding all text, then unhiding the paragraphs containing the found text. There is no need to do any looping:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
StrFnd = InputBox("Find Text with Wildcard")
If Trim(StrFnd) = "" Then Exit Sub
With ActiveDocument.Range
  .Font.Hidden = True
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "[!^13]@" & StrFnd & "*^13"
    .Font.Hidden = True
    .Replacement.Font.Hidden = False
    .Replacement.Text = "^&"
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = True
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
  End With
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
