The fourth parameter is for the change to string. The fifth is the find attributes and the sixth is the change attributes.

I'm familiar with AppleScript and JavaScript, so I can't help with the specific syntax. However, you can check the settings of these preferences by simply looking at the Find/Change More Options. If they're not set, then the preferences are how you need them anyway.

A thing to remember is that the search command always returns a list, so in JS, I had to write:

myFound = app.documents[0].search("Fred",false,true)
alert(myFound[0].contents)

Hope this helps.

Dave
