I've played with this and it seems to have the same problem as my 
original code: it will only find maybe 10% of the results I expect (so 
far only one result in either implementation, no matter the search). In 
this case, if I hard-code the search_term, then the very script I'm 
running is the only file that will ever produce a result (as it is in 
the directory I'm traversing).

Sorry if I've ignored any other replies. I'm using the ruby-forum 
interface, which seems to have been down for some time yesterday.
