hg grep seems not very effective to find strings of old changesets!?

Hello
Maybe I don't know enough of the sophisticated syntax of «hg grep» but I
have always found hg grep not very useful.
Here is an example: I have around 700 change sets in a current repository
I found out that in revision 562, the string \label{eq:section4-sh15}
appeared in a certain file. However hg grep was enable to find that
string in that particular revision.
Is this a well known limitation of hg grep or do I miss here something
fundamental?
Regards
Uwe Brauer
