No, I confirm that that's how it works for me, too.
I am not sure if this counts as a bug or not, so someone else should
still address this question. Maybe this is the desired behavior, given
that the link text is hidden? Or maybe it's just not possible to search
in hidden text?
There's a less-drastic solution than switching to another editor though!
You can just turn off Org mode...try M-x fundamental-mode, then run the
search.
Best,
Richard
