If the text is present inside of a frame, you will need to search using the
frame handle. And if there are nested frames, you will have to dig down to
the correct level.
Are you aware of irb? I use it a lot when writing my tests. It is the
interactive ruby browser. Here is a quick example of how I used it to
confirm the answer to your question:
C:\Documents and Settings\manderson>irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'Watir'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> ie = Watir::IE.new
=> #<Watir::IE:0x...
[This brings up my IE browser]
[Then I can navigate manually to the page I'm working with]
irb(main):003:0> ie.text.include? "admin page"
=> false
irb(main):004:0> ie.show_frames
there are 2 frames
frame index: 1 name: menuFrame
frame index: 2 name: bottomFrame
=> 0..1
irb(main):005:0> ie.frame(:name, "bottomFrame").text.include? "admin page"
=> true
