The built-in "magnifying glass" search tool is either literally broken or ALL the models use the wrong syntax with it basically 100% of the time

Both Claude Opus 4.6 and Gemini 3.1 Pro (and the others) are CONSTANTLY doing numerous “magnifying-glass-search” calls that return 0 results (falsely, for whatever reason), often followed by call to Powershell Get-Content that NEVER has the correct syntax, usually followed finally by a findstr that ACTUALLY finds the search terms that always did in fact exist in the file.

More of this. EVERYTHING that shows “0 results” here is wrong, ALL of those things actually do exist in the file, so again either the tool itself is nonfunctional or these models do not know how to call it properly:
