A couple of thoughts:
  1. It has always been a pity that the Find and Replace functionality of oo3 is not exposed through the Applescript interface. It might be worth adding your voice to that request through OO3 > Help > Send Feedback
  2. It's also a pity that the Applescript library gives no access to the text selection within a row (only to a list of which rows are selected). Again, I would be inclined to visit Help > Send Feedback
(If you were prepared to lose any text formatting, it would be possible to write a search and replace script, using a shell command, for example, which only applied to selected rows).
