Shane,

Actually, you're wrong (gasp!) about return and tab. They can be used on the Find side of a scripted search.

They can't be used in the UI because they drive the UI and so don't end up in the Find box if you try to type them (although I believe you can paste them... Ah, it does a "smart" paste and converts them to the code). Perhaps that happens behind the scenes if you use these characters in a search, like this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set myFindText to tab as string
 set find preferences to nothing
 set myStory to parent story of selection
 search myStory for myFindText
end tell

Dave
