Thanks, Jim. 
Is there a reason you are using this applet, rather than the 
by-language filter in the "search options" function that Google 
provides by default?

This worked for me. 

to see if it makes a difference you might try:  
a) 
tar czfv ltest.tar.gz `find . -name \*somestring` > ltest.log

b)
try some different files on a different server, with different 
permissions, etc.

we may have stumbled upon its real purpose: "to serve man"
