If a user is running a meterpreter session on a non-Windows OS, the search functionality cannot start a
search from the root directory because msf strips the file separator from the input used to create a
search request. Because of this, meterpreter will default to the current working directory and produce
less results than expected or none at all.
This change just makes sure that the search root is not
/
before chomping the file separator. This alsofixes a typo in the search
