Re: grep/search through folder collections?

One problem that I always find with this method is that there are false 
matches. Sometimes I do a Text seach and the match is in the mime encoding 
of an attachment, but not in the folder itself. For example, I can search 
for the string 

3RlMy1mb3JlZ3

and (Al)pine will happily tell me that it found a match. Is this behavior 
intentional? (I can understand why it would do this, but it is not very 
useful to me).

(note: the example above is a little extreme, I know. It just shows a 
point. But many times I have found false positives in some 4 letter 
words, that are really words.)

Thank you.
