You could use shell script to achive the same thing:

on mouseUp
    put "bob" into sQuoi
    put "mdfind kMDItemFSName == '" & sQuoi & "'" into tCMD
	// mdfind kMDItemFSName == 'bob'
    put shell(tCMD)
end mouseUp

Not that I don't like AppleScript, I'm an heavy user of it, but I  
always try to avoid using the "Finder".

You should look at those command: "mdfind", "mdimport", "mdls",  
"mdutil".

Regards,

Dan
