First, searching "in every text frame" will not get any that are part of a
group. But you could use this method anyway:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"
 set thePages to {}
 tell document 1
  set theFinds to search for "hammer"
  try
   repeat with aFind in theFinds
    set theParent to parent of parent text frame of character 1 of aFind
    repeat while class of theParent is not in {page, spread}
     set theParent to parent of theParent
    end repeat
    if class of theParent is spread then
     -- what to do?
    else
     set thisPage to name of theParent -- or use index
     if thePages does not contain thisPage then
      set end of thePages to thisPage
     end if
    end if
   end repeat
  end try
 end tell
end tell

I'm not sure which would be the quickest.
