search command doesn't find anything

Hello,

using GRUB as of commit 7a210304 as autoboot payload.

I've got an USB device containing a file in it's root directory (ext4
formatted SD card).

	$ cat (usb0,1)/file_to_find

shows me the file's content as expected. However I wasn't able find
the device using GRUB's search command:

	$ search --file file_to_find
	$ search --file file_to_find --hint=usb0
	$ search --hint=usb0
	$ search --label SD
	$ ...

In fact, not a single variation of the search command worked: I
couldn't find a any device no matter if looking for files, labels or
using hints. According to search's help text, the above mentioned
commands seem to be correct.

To be clear: Every device or file I was searching for was available
all the time and could be accessed using 'ls' and 'cat'.

Am I missing something or is 'search' broken?

Regards,
Klemens Nanni

Do you use full name starting with "/"?
