The I am very new to InDesign,

I simply want to use a VBScript to search for a word (input elsewhere) and then have the resulting words HIGHLIGHTED so that someone can begin typing. The search and replace method works fine in my scripts, but I want to mimic the find dialog box (without opening it and waiting for this to take place) so that the person sitting at the computer sees the selected word.
Why does this next line not result in the word being "selected"?
myInDesign.Search TextToFind,True,False
