This is more a question:

Would this work?:
sling = """ window.showBusyCursorDuring():
     window.showStatusDuring(msg='Verifying search conditions'):
         searchForm.verify()
     window.showStatusDuring(msg='Executing query'):
         resultSet = searchForm.executeQuery()"""

eval sling

???
