Aha. Thanks. I was looking for find attributes when I should have been looking for find preferences. 

Shucks. 

Still; onwards and upwards. 

For the record, I ended up this: 

on run {findString, changeString}  try   tell application "InDesign 2.0.1"    set find preferences to nothing    set change preferences to nothing    if class of selection is text then     search selection for findString replacing with changeString    else     search parent of selection for findString replacing with changeString    end if    return "OK"   end tell  on error   return "Error"  end try end run 

I'm using this as a REALbasic method attached to a variety of buttons that call for various common S&Rs.
