I was able to resolve my volume searching.
I had a hunch that it could be file naming convention. I wrote a shell
script to go through all 159,000 files and check if there was any
macintosh extended chars or control chars and correct the file names.
After running this script I was able to search the volume. It was damn
slow with so many files, but a volume search did work properly.
