Nathan easily spotted jamie

Nathan easily spotted jamie in the crowd because she was wearing a bright red dress.

Hi,

Does "spotted" in the above refer to "saw" or "found" to you? Thanks.

 Both "saw" and "found"! Perhaps "recognized" would be even better?

The verb 'spot' means to catch sight of (perhaps for only an instant). Yes, 'see' is a good synonym. 'Find' indicates the action of 'looking for'.
