I am finding out the same thing.
Applescript is interesting. It allows you to do stuff that no one
would every want to do but stuff that would be really nice to have it
is not possible.
According to the AS dictionary: search v : search a playlist for
tracks matching the search string. Identical to entering search text
in the Search field in iTunes.
If the search was identical then the only songs that would be visible,
and therefor the only songs that would play, would be the ones that
were searched.
So far I can get the artist to play if I turn off shuffle but once it
hits the end of those artists songs it moves on to the next artist.

Yep, I was just about to post this. I tried to do something similar
way back when I was writing my iTunes shell script and it's just not
possible.
iTunes can only play two things, a playlist or a single track; you
cannot feed it a list of tracks and expect it to do anything with it.
And at least at the time, the process of creating a playlist,
selecting the playlist, playing the playlist, and then deleting the
playlist was too cumbersome for my uses.
