I can answer part of your question: AS can be flexible when it comes to "real english" language: you can say "search in myStory" or "search myStory"; you can say "get the last character", "get last character", or even "get character -1".

Script editor will sometimes fix your wording. Watch carefully when you hit "Check Syntax" & you might see some changes made.

The other part of your question: I haven't figured that out yet. You can phrase a search about 4 different ways. I don't know if there are nuances involved in the results.

One of the trickiest things for me to learn has been ownership. You can tell the application to search & get one result, but if you tell the page to search you might get something else.
