When I do this, it just returns to the command prompt. No errors
listed. I know there are files in that directory that contain my
search string. What am I doing wrong?

We are on 7.1.


Probably just need to wait long enough for the data to appear at STDOUT. I am unsure why the effect for the request seems to be asynchronous, as compared\contrasted with the effect seen on earlier releases. I only recently saw the effect, and had not looked into whether that outcome might be a defect, or not.
