Scripting Sherlock

Is it possible to script Sherlock to search a sub-folder for every file
beginning with a tilde (~). This is easy to do in the Finder (see code
snippet below) but is damn slow. Sherlock should be quicker if it's possible
to script it to do this (but I believe it's not possible).

TIA


--Code snippet
repeat with i in (every folder of the entire contents of folder ((name of
startup disk) & ":WebSTAR") whose name begins with "~")
set end of folderList to (i as string)
end repeat
--End code snippet
