Search and replace script

Hi,

Below is the script which will find a particular text and replace with another one in a group of files under a directory /test
Code:
#!/bin/bash
old=$1 --- first input old text
new=$2--- input new text
cd /test --- folder into which files need to be checked
for y in `ls *`;
do sed "s/'$old'/'$new'/g" $y > temp; mv temp $y;
done

I am executing the script as below
Code:
# ./search.sh abc def

But there is not change taking place. Please advice on the script.
