Many thanks for the answer, unfortunately that does not solve my problem.
it seems you have a different problem, then; i agree that this task is
not as easy as it was with Sherlock
you say you don't like the "command line", so i hesitate to mention

also Automator has two actions, Find Finder Items and Spotlight that
seem relevent -- if you save an Automator workflow as an app, it is
scriptable, but i'm not sure offhand how to get the search text into it
(the ugly clipboard approach of your old script might work)
