I have:

Set myIndesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.2.0")
    Set myDoc = myIndesign.ActiveDocument
    If myDoc.Selection.Count > 0 Then
        For Each sel In myDoc.Selection
            Set itemFounds = sel.Search("blah", False, True)
        Next
    End If

If the sel is of type Column, I get error:

Object doesn't support the property or method

Set itemFounds = sel.Search("blah", False, True)

I even try declaring a:
    Dim col as Indesign.Column
    col = sel
    col.Search(...

The asignment works but the Search method call fail the same.
