Hi Panos, 

wlan.fc.type_subtype != 0x04 && wlan.fc.type_subtype != 0x05

I.e., 802.11 probe packets don't contain the phrase "probe request" or "probe response"; those strings are contained, 
instead, in Wireshark and TShark (or, rather, in the library that both of them use to dissect packets), and they use 
them when displaying the packet summary and details.  What the probe request and response packets contain (along with 
all other 802.11 packets) are a type and subtype field, with particular values for particular packet types, and what 
you need to check for are those packet types.
