Here is what I could guess by reading the source code of the component:

PdfDocument[Page].Find() will search all occurences of a text into the 
specified page.

Then: PdfDocument[Page].Result.Count returns the number of matches, and 
PdfDocument[Page].Result[Index] a virtual object that represents the rectangle 
surrounding the text in the page.

Maybe if Index = 0, you have the first match?

Is it what you are looking for?
