The following script worked really, really well for me.

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	tell active document
		try
			set find preferences to nothing
			set change preferences to nothing
		end try

		set theStyle to (make character style with properties {name:"theStyle", applied font:font "Copperplate Gothic Bold" of application "InDesign 2.0.2", font style:"regular", position:superscript, fill color:swatch "C=0 M=100 Y=0 K=0", fill tint:30})
		search for "o" with change attributes {applied character style:theStyle}

		delete theStyle
	end tell
end tell

Nice and short, and using a temporary character style keeps the settings tidy. The only question now is, am I painting myself into a corner by using character styles (and even swatches) that I then immediately delete at the end of the script? Will the document start returning errors about missing styles and swatches?
