Search: Finding text in multiple PDFs

I often need to perform text searches (using Full Acrobat Search) in multiple PDF files, but do not get results when selecting the "All PDF Documents in [folder]" option.

All PDF files have been OCR'd, and there's no security restrictions. I've tried creating the PDFs using Distiller and also PDF Printer option from MS Office; either way, I'm still not able to find text (for example, a specific name) within a multiple-file search.

I'm wondering if it's a version issue, file-name too long, fonts? Any insight would be appreciated.
