Lock down the menu with a User menu, so the only way the user can get into Find mode is by script.
Force the user into the next script after the Enter Find Mode, with a Pause indefinitely and follow that with Perform Script(<your button script>). Put a Halt Script at the end of <your button script>. When they're in Find mode, they enter their search criteria, they use the enter key and the indefinite pause ends thus continuing to the Perform Script until halting at Halt Script. Or, while in find, they click on your button to go into <your button script> and the Halt script stops everything before the Perform script runs it again.
