What you're getting is correct. All text objects return as their index property the index of the first insertion point within the text object relative to the start of the story. If you want the count of lines in the story up to and including the first line of result(1) use (JS):

myStory = result(1).parent; 
myLine = result(1).lines[0]; 
lineCount = myStory.characters.itemByRange(0,myLine.index).texts[0].lines.length;
