This query should work, assuming that:
- your file is actually inside the [USA] folder
- the string in the file does not contain zero-lenth character such as ASCII NULL; did you try to copy-and-paste the string (including the colons) directly from the file in TextEdit, to the FoxTrot search field? Also, if the characters that you replaced by xxx contain accents, you should also check [ignoring] [accents] in the query, as there are multiple ways to encode a single accented character in Unicode.
- you do not have a third-party Spotlight importer that parses .txt files, which seems pretty unlikely; you will be sure once you successfully view the file as it has been indexed: select it in the result list and option-click the "view in FoxTrot" toolbar button…
