Google Apps script filename lookup failure

I have a script that finds a file by (unique) filename: 

function getFileByName(filename) {
  var files = DocsList.getRootFolder().find("title:" + '"' + filename + '"');    
  Logger.log("looking for " + filename);
  for( var i in files){
    Logger.log("checking " + files[i].getName());
    if ( files[i].getName() == filename ) 
    {
      Logger.log("found " + files[i].getName());
      return files[i];
    }
  } //for i in files    
  Logger.log("did not find " + filename);
} //getFileByName_

It worked like a charm for months, until yesterday. Now it doesn't seem like the loop is running (I added the Logger.log("checking " + files[i].getName()); line to debug, but I never see that show up in the log.

Any ideas (or other ideas for debugging?)? Thanks!

Remove the "title" and look just for the file name live the code bellow.

function getFileByName(filename) {
var files = DocsList.getRootFolder().find(filename);    
Logger.log("looking for " + filename);
for( var i in files){
 Logger.log("checking " + files[i].getName());
if ( files[i].getName() == filename ) 
{
  Logger.log("found " + files[i].getName());
  return files[i];
}
} //for i in files    
Logger.log("did not find " + filename);
} //getFileByName_
