That looks like a mighty complicated way of doing things. The version below does what you want, as far as I can see. The first line concatenates the contents of all stories into one string, joining the contents with \n just in case any last line in a story doesn't end in \n. The regular expression assumes that anything between a series of tabs and \n is a price to be deleted, you may need to tweak that.

txt = app.activeDocument.stories.everyItem().contents.join('\n')+'\n'; 
searchResults = txt.match(/[\t]+([^\n]+)/g) 
if( searchResults != null ) 
   { 
   app.findPreferences = app.changePreferences = null 
   for( i = 0; i <searchResults.length; i++ ) 
      app.activeDocument.search( searchResults[i], false, true, '^t' ) 
   }
