Searching attachments in TheBrain

I was curious about this, because I recall such searches worked in olden days.

So—according to the “Knowledge Base” for “TheBrain 8 Pro” (In reality, there is no product anymore called TheBrain Pro.)

” Search within attachments—your searches automatically include the contents of attachments. If the text you’re searching for exists within documents including PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and many other file formats, the documents containing the text will be found.”

I’m an Brain 8 user on OS X and subscribe to WebBrain. I created a new brain with one node and one Excel attachment and one word in that attachment. (“apricot”). Cannot find “apricot” searching int TheBrain on iOS or when that brain is synced up to WebBrain.
