How big is the php page that's coming back?  ReFind() has some character
limitations (about 22k or so), so if the page is any bigger, it just fails.
No error, no message, no grace -- it just doesn't find anything.

Assuming the page is small enough, you should be looking for something like

(&|\?)sid=[[:alnum:]]{32}

I changed just the & to an & or ? so it would find the string even if it's
the first in the query string.  The {32} means to look for 32 of the
previous construct (in this case, an alnum).

HTH.
