The Search method returns a collection of matches - and doesn't interact with the selection code at all. In order to select something, you have to use the Select event. To select the first match from a particular search, you'd do something like this:

Set theResult = myDocument.Search (TextToFind)
myDocument.Select theResult.Item(1)
