Using Tex-Edit Plus' "search" command from the Tex-Edit Suite in its  
AppleScript dictionary, on this paragraph:

"And, as Lantano made his way through the basement, among the cots,  
stepping over people, their meager stores, saying hello here, smiling  
to someone there, Nicholas thought, _My god, when he came through the  
entrance he looked like an old man, weathered, dried-out, but now,  
closer, Lantano appeared middle-aged; the aura of extreme age had  
been an illusion due to the scrawny quality of the man and the  
peculiar stiffness in the way he walked; it was as if he were  
delicate, feared an injury, a fall._"

If I do this:

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
	search paragraph 2 of document 1 looking for "My god, when he came  
through the entrance he looked like an old man, weathered, dried-out,  
but now, closer, Lantano appeared middle-aged; the aura of extreme  
age had been an illusion due to the scrawny quality of the man and  
the peculiar stiffness in the"
end tell

Tex-Edit selects the string within the paragraph and the script  
returns "true". However if I add one more word to that search string  
like so:

tell application "Tex-Edit Plus"
	search paragraph 2 of document 1 looking for "My god, when he came  
through the entrance he looked like an old man, weathered, dried-out,  
but now, closer, Lantano appeared middle-aged; the aura of extreme  
age had been an illusion due to the scrawny quality of the man and  
the peculiar stiffness in the way"
end tell

I get an error:

Tex-Edit Plus got an error: Can't make some data into the expected type

with "search paragraph 2 of document 1 looking for......etc"  
highlighted.

Anyone have any ideas what the problem is here? A bug?

Thanks,
