the text search is the worst idea for searching things. it's done just to change names and so on but you can't rely to it for searching items status and whathever.
a knownledge of programming helps in understanding this. you are more likely to find the name of items or player in places completely different from where you found their name.
for example a list of items doesn't contain any name just various spaces to hold some numbers to identify the item and it's quantity and maybe it's status. then when the game displays the name it looks on another table and compares the item number and finally displays it's name: this is what you are most likelly gonna find. yeah some could trash memory by storing also the item name with the item data but it's very unlikely
