Selenium + Java = Assertion error

I already have this kind of error, and I still don't know why. What am I doing wrong?

I need to assert true if I get a text in the page source.

So here is my method:

public boolean AssertSearch() {                 
    return driver.getPageSource().contains("Item found");               
}

And here is my assert:

assertTrue(buscarnok.validabuscaNOK());

And I keep receiving the message "Assertion Error". I don't know why. If I change the "return driver.getPageSource().contains("Item found");"to driver.findelement(by.id("someID")).isdisplayed();it works fine, so why isn't it working with getpagesource?

If the text you are looking for is not initially in the page or if it is hidden, it may not find it.

Try something like this:

String bodyText = driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getText();
Assert.assertTrue("Item Found", bodyText.contains(text));

You can narrow down the search by selecting a different tag name or even a div by its class or id
