Are you searching at all? Your pages long find command seems to just exclude 
instead of searching…

In which files do you think the string "charset-map-path" will occur? Then 
search for these files only:

        M-x find-grep RET
        <insert the search string at the cursor position>
        <insert '-name "*.el.gz ' appropriately>
        <adjust where the search will start, if needed>
        <adjust the grep command to deal with compressed files>
        RET

It also works to search in C source files with '-name "*.[ch]"'.
