Got for Plot[1+Cos[x]Cosh[x],{x,0,5}] You will see the first two roots.
Use the FindRoot[1+Cos[x]Cosh[x]==0,x->2] and then x->5.
Do the same for the next range 4,8 and so on. The function behaves like
crazy for big +-x-es and you can see that if you plot (-100,100) on
(-1000,1000) it is just a black block ;)
