Hi, hey here is a little bit that might help get you started:

set mynewtext to "TEST"
tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
		activate
		set find preferences to nothing --clear info
		set change preferences to nothing
		set find text of find preferences to "ABio"
		set change text of change preferences to mynewtext
		search document 1 with change attributes {changetext:mynewtext, applied font:"Franklin Gothic", font style:"Extra Condensed", horizontal scale:80, tracking:-25}
		set find preferences to nothing --reset again
		set change preferences to nothing
end tell

in this example, i am using mynewtext as whatever text you want to be the new text. "ABio" is the old text (from one of my scripts i use). When doing a find change, notice you have to set the find parameters, then the change parameters, then do a "search document" with some kind of parameter. You can't just do "seach document"... you have to add "with change attributes {changetext:mynewtext....} etc". You can certainly get more involved in the search, say find only the work "Christmas" that is also the color red and is a certain font.

There are probably more ways to script this but it works for me. I also suggest downloading Adobe's ID scripting guide, and at the Adobe expert center i have posted all the scripts from that PDF to get people started in learning ID scripting.Hope this helps
