Let me try again. For the search command itself, think of it as effectively
driving the user interface -- the same rules apply, so you use conventions
like "^n". (If you look in the UI after a script search, you'll actually see
your search strings.)

Enumerations like "forced line break" belong to InDesign, and can be used in
setting the contents directly, but only one character at a time. You can't
concatenate two such enumerations, or an enumeration plus some other text.

"return" and "tab" are built-in predefined variables in AppleScript, and are
really just alternative methods of entering a tab and return. They _can_ be
concatenated with other text, and can be used everywhere except the search
command.
