Why didn't the advanced search function find it then?

Because the versions have lots of little differences spread out throughout the tune. Take a look:

Your version:
|:BAB GBd|cBc E2G|FED cAF|GFG D2c|
BAB GBd|cBc E2G|FED cAF|GAG G3:|
|:dBd def|gfg d2g|fef A2c|Bdd GBc|
dBd def|gfg d2g|fed cAF|GAG G3:|

Existing version:
BdB GBd|cBA E2G|FEF DFA|GBG D2c|
BdB GBd|cBA E2G|FEF AGF|G3 G3:|
ded def|gfg b2g|fef A2B|c3 B2c|
ded def|gfg b2g|fed cAF|G3 G3:|

Any full measure you search for, except the penultimate one, will fail to match any measure of the other version. And yet they're obviously the same tune!
