My document-level searches work fine, but the same syntax doesn't work for TextFrame or Text searches, though the documentation says that it should. I keep getting the error

"Object contains no text for find/change."

The line of code is:

textframe.search("P",false,false,"Q");

Am I doing something wrong, or do these routines just not work?

Thanks for any help!
