    Why do you think those all mean the same thing? They have different parses syntactically.

  • I don't think they mean the same thing, but I would like to know if any of them is grammatically incorrect.

All 3 versions are grammatically correct.

1 and 2 have identical meaning and can be used interchangeably, 3 is subtly different.

In 1 & 2 "he works to find", which doesn't guarantee that he succeeds.

In 3 "he finds", which implies success every time.
