Can't seem to find files using locate

[Brian Heibert <bheibert at verizon dot net>]

I have a find file project that I am using the shell to do it here's the
code:

  Dim s as shell
  Dim actualtexttolookfor as string
  s=New shell
  #if TargetCarbon or TargetLinux and Not(TargetPPC) and Not(TargetWin32)
then
    actualtexttolookfor = replaceall(""+searchfor.text," ","+")
    
    s.execute "locate " + actualtexttolookfor
  #else
    MSGBOX "This doesn't run on Windows or MacOS Classic!"
  #endif
  resultpath.text = s.result


But for some reason when I  enter a file name nothing happens I don't get
any results and I know I have that file on my computer I am using a file to
test the search program.  What gives?

Brian
