Replace Text in Finder Command-F Window

  • Subject: Replace Text in Finder Command-F Window

The Apple sample code for "Replace Text in Item Names" starts as follows:

try
tell application "Finder" to set source_folder to (folder of front window) as alias
on error -- no open folder windows so use desktop folder
set source_folder to path to desktop folder as alias
end try

How do I do this search and replace in the Finder Command_F window, i.e., how do I set source_folder to the Finder Command-F window?

Thanks,
