I tried it and what it did was select all items on the current visible spread. Does it really work better for you?

That is impossible in InDesign. InDesign does not allow non-contiguous text selection.
You can see that for yourself: create a text frame. Type some text in it. Then copy the text frame and paste it somewhere else on the same page. Now you can select text in one frame or in the other, but not both.
Fortunately, there may be a way out. You say that you want to select all text – right? But ... why? Just to see if you can? (Well, then we're finished. You can't.)
Now if you want to do something with a script to all text, you don't need to select it first. Scripts don't (need to) work that way.

With a script, and on your original document? There is no advantage at all to convert an entire InDesign document to outlines. There are only disadvantages. Lots and lots of them.
If you do this for a print provider, read this:

I landed here from searching for solutions to override all styles {(the lil +) instead of selecting each paragraph and doing one by one.
