Do you want to find Arabic or email addresses? Whichever, in your other topic on the same subject I replied that your GREP is faulty: 

      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "[^A-Za-z0-9/.-]+";




should be 

      app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "[^A-Za-z0-9\\.-]+";




But this isn't going to find Arabic or email addresses: it finds everything that's not an unaccented Latin letter, a digit, dot, or hyphen.
