well, exporting to txt gives a better result for reading in other text editors, I should have mentioned that those files will be accessible by others who do not use Emacs...

Since Org-mode files are plain text, I don't think you would need to
export them at all, rather I would imagine an easier solution would be
to either

1. teach the search engine that .org means .txt

2. symlink all of your .org files to .txt file, e.g. on a linux, unix,
  OSX system the following shell script will create a .txt symlink for
  each .org file in the current directory
  #+begin_src sh
    for i in `ls --color=never *.org`;do
        ln -s $i `basename $i .org`.txt
    done
  #+end_src
