Dave,

search for findText with change attributes {position:replacePosition, fill tint:replaceTint, fill color:replaceColor, applied font:replaceFont}

This does a find AND replace in one line. I could elaborate on it and set the specific "find attributes", but it doesn't seem to be necessary when the sole find attribute is a string. This is a super handy statement, picked up from

 <http://olivier.berquin.free.fr/indesign/search_indy.html#top_change_every_y_to_red>

Like I said, everything works right about this script except for the fill tint. I'll give it a shot doing it a different way... maybe I'm grasping at something that InDesign scripting just doesn't allow? Thought it would return an error message though.
