Need help with Search Object

[Patrix]

Hello.

I'm testing something with the Search Object just to get a feel for using it and I can't get it working. I'll explain what I'm doing, so please excuse my length of the message, but I figure the more detail, the better.

First of all, I've created a folder in my C: titled Search, so the directory I guess is C:\Search. I put inside two files, one a text file (.txt) and a document file (.doc). Both containing the phrase "The Hyena"

So then I opened up MMF2Dev, inserted the Search Object.
Set the directory in the properties to C:\Search. (I'm not sure if I need a slash (C:\Search\), but I tried that too.)
I also placed two counters to test if the search is in progress (Counter Search) and to see if text is found (Counter Text).

In the event editor:

• Start of Frame:
  
  • Search
    
    • Set search directory to "C:\Search\"
    
    
    • Find Text "the Hyena"

• Search in Progress:
  
  • Counter (Counter Search)
    
    • Set Counter to 1

• Text Found:
  
  • Counter 2 (Counter Text)
    
    • Set Counter to 1

So now, the problem is that the counters don't turn to 1. It's like it doesn't even bother to start searching. So I can't figure out how to start the search. So that leads me to the question, what am I missing?
If I could have some help with trying to get this search working, I would greatly appreciate it as the project I am working on will require me to use the Search Object.

Did you get the exact file names? A typo can stuff it up.

Exact file names? I'm actually searching text with in files (especially .doc files), so that it will pick up files that have the phrase "The Hyena." Perhaps I'm using the wrong object?*

I made sure the directory is exact, as well as the phrase it's supposed to be searching for.

*The closest thing I'm trying to get at is to how the Search on a computer works when it comes to "Searching for files containing text." What I'm working on might seem a bit redundant (correct term?), but for the use I'd be putting it to, it would make things convenient for me.
