_assertEqual and _assertContainsText always pass

I'm testing two textbox fields in a window for a value and I've noted that the _assertEqual or _assertContainsText functions never fail even when I set them up to fail.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using Firefox and Sahi 4.4.
Here is the code:
_log("Product: " + fGetSearch("M_Product_ID"),"info");
_assertContainsText("Fertilizer#70_Fertilizer #70", fGetSearch("M_Product_ID"),"Error: tf_wip_product_info: product query for Fertilizer #70 did not find the right product");
_assertContainsText("dummy", fGetSearch("M_Product_ID"),"Error: tf_wip_product_info: product query for Fertilizer #70 did not find the right product");
The log output:
_log("Product: " + fGetSearch("M_Product_ID"),"info");

The function fGetSearch() is:
//<browser>
/* ******************************************************************
*
* fSearch($FieldName)
*
* Returns the element for the specified field
*
*******************************************************************/
function fSearch($FieldName){
/* Double underscores required to prevent scheduling */
//__assertExists(__textbox(/^zk/, __in(__div("/^Field_" + $FieldName + "_/"))), "Error: fSearch() can't find field " + $FieldName);
return __textbox(/^zk/, __in(__div("/^Field_" + $FieldName + "_/")));
}
//</browser>
//<browser>
/* ******************************************************************
*
* fGetSearch($FieldName)
*
* Get the value/contents of a search field.
*
*******************************************************************/
function fGetSearch($FieldName) {
return __getText(fSearch($FieldName));
}
//</browser>

I made a sample script to test out the functionalities of _assertEquals and _assertContainsText APIs and they are working properly i.e. they are failing when they need to.
The problem should be somewhere in the way they have been implemented by you.
Please have a look into at again. I am currently caught up with many things and hence unable to look into your code.

Mike.
Have you been able to resolve the problem you were facing?
