I see the problem now: my simple test document had only text frames, but the
script fails trying to search other page items. So I think you're going to
have to use something like this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
 set thePages to {}
 tell document 1
  repeat with i from 1 to count of pages
   try -- in case none on page
    set itemClass to class of all page items of page i
    set allItems to all page items of page i
    set theFrames to {}
    repeat with j from 1 to count of allItems
     if item j of itemClass = text frame then
      set end of theFrames to item j of allItems
     end if
    end repeat
    set x to search theFrames for "hammer"
    try
     x
     set end of thePages to i
    end try
   end try
  end repeat
 end tell
end tell

More complicated than it should be, I fear.

Wish list items: whose clause support with "all page items", and a "parent
page" property for page items.
