Try this ...app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\+";

Simplest is instead of usingfindGrepPreferences.findWhatusefindTextPreferences.findWhatThe point is that + is a GREP symbol (meaning one or more times).So if you really must use GREP, you have to escape it with a backslash(and that backslash has to be escaped as well if you're scripting it):findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "\+";But again, just use textPreferences unless you have to use the extrapower of GREP
