It is usually useful to show us what you tried, so we can show you how you went
wrong without guessing.
get (found text) is meaningless in this context.
The find verb returns you a record, and you access the found text field of that
record.
For example:
tell application "BBEdit"
tell text window 1
set theFindResult to find "foobar"
if found of theFindResult then
set s to found text of theFindResult
display alert s
end if
end tell
end tell
