metasploit v4.4.0-dev : search function not working fully

[hannah]

Hi all,

This is my machine: BackTrack 5 R2 Gnome 64 bit : Linux bt 3.2.6 x86_64 GNU/Linux : HDD installed
metasploit v4.4.0-dev

Ok Good news first: Metasploit works
Bad News: search function in msfconsole does not work fully.

root@bt:~# msfconsole


       =[ metasploit v4.4.0-dev [core:4.4 api:1.0]

msf > search netapi

I am trying to search for string 'netapi' and the search function renders null. On closer inspection this is what I find.

If I try to find shell_reverse_tcp it does find it. See the output below:

msf > search shell_reverse_tcp

So it seems to me that search function is searching the payload but NOT the exploits.

Any idea anyone, please

Regards

N.B.:

When I try to load this module it fails:

msf > use windows/smb/ms08_67_netapi
[-] Failed to load module: windows/smb/ms08_67_netapi

Something is wrong somewhere..
