Assuming that you're looking for the number of the paragraph on the page, you'd need to count the number of paragraphs in the text frame that a found item occurs in. Since indexes are always counted from the beginning of the story, you isolate the text between the top of the page and the found item by starting at the index of the first insertion point of the found item's parent text frame and the found item itself. You capture that with this single long line:



 
// range over ... 
paragraph_number = myFoundSet[n].parentStory.characters.itemByRange ( 
   // ... index of first ins. point of found item's parent text frame ... 
   myFoundSet[n].parentTextFrames[0].insertionPoints[0].index, 
   // ... and index of found item 
   myFoundSet[n].index 
   ).paragraphs.length;



This includes any paragraph that started on the previous page. To find the found item's line number within its parent paragraph you do something similar:



line_number = myFoundSet[n].parentStory.characters.itemByRange ( 
   myFoundSet[n].paragraphs[0].index, //first insertion point of paragraph 
   myFoundSet[n].index 
   ).lines.length;
