Am I missing something in the Find command syntax, or is it not possible to search for the first instance of whatever you're looking for? 

Equivalent to clicking Find (or Find Next) in the UI. 

Reason I ask is that I have the need to do just that, and while I'm aware that I can just grab all the instances and look at only the first one, this can be VERY slow if you have a large number of stories in a document. 

Indeed, my script is still running and I've had time to search the archives here on the word "Instances" read what looked like a likely thread in the archives, come back here are type this topic, and still the script is running.
