From VB ObjectBrowser:

Property FindWhat As Variant
    Member of InDesign.FindTextPreference
    The FindTextPreference to find. as String or idNothingEnum enumerator

Property ChangeTo As Variant
    Member of InDesign.ChangeTextPreference
    The replacement ChangeTextPreference. as String or idNothingEnum enumerator

so you can't apply FontStyle and CharStyle to Properties awaiting for String type

You need to set formatting you looking for to fontStyle and appliedCharacterStyle

Property FontStyle As Variant
    Member of InDesign.FindTextPreference
    The name of the font style. as String or idNothingEnum enumerator

Property AppliedCharacterStyle As Variant
    Member of InDesign.ChangeTextPreference
    The character style to search for or change to. as String, CharacterStyle or idNothingEnum enumerator

There is no "appliedFontStyle" in VB so I'm not sure if it will be in JS ...

here is example in VB:

myInDi.FindTextFreferences.FontStyle = "Italic"
myInDi.ChangeTextPreferences.AppliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.CharacterStyles.Item("Italic")
