Use the Find button in Numbers with Applescript.

I am trying to use applescript to select a cell in a Numbers table that contains a specific word.  

I have customised my toolbar to show the Find button and If I manually click the Find button a new window "Find & Replace" opens so I can enter the specific word I  want to find.

When doing the same thing with applescript the button click seems to work (i.e. the button flashes) but the Find & Replace window does not open, I dont get any error messages


this is the section of script I have tried.

tell application "System Events" to tell process "Numbers"
click button "Find" of tool bar 1 of window 1


end tell

Any idea whats wrong or is there a better way to find and select a cell based on its content using applescript ?
