In GNU Emacs 18.52.3 of Thu Jan 19 1989 on mrspoc (usg-unix-v)

The machine is a plexus 68020 (m-plexus.h), running System 5.2
(s-usg5-2.h).

search-forward doesn't find "\000" in a file (this manifested by
running M-x yow).

I have a file containing:

abcde^@fghijk^@kjhkjhkj

with point at "a", I do eval-expression (search-forward "\0").
The message 'Search failed: "' appears in the message area.

I can't figure it out. Any ideas??
