You don't need to select the text (although this probably needs to be deconstructed some because you need to be sure the index - 15 is greater than zero and the other expression is less than or equal to the textflow length):

$.writeln(_findErg[i].parent.characters.itemByRange(index-15, index+15+_findErg[i].length).texts[0].contents);

And note that I used parent and not parentStory. That allows it to work with text inside table cells.
