To perform a find in FileMaker using AppleScript, I'm using someting like this :

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
delete every request
set newrequest to create request
set cell "Name" of newrequest to "Hoornaert"
find
end tell

You can create multiple requests

tell application "FileMaker Pro"
delete every request
set newrequest to create request
set cell "Name" of newrequest to "Hoornaert"
set newrequest to create request
set cell "First Name" of newrequest to "Raphaël"
find
end tell

Try:

show every record whose cell "blah" is "foo" and cell "number" is 0
