Visual Studio 2008 Find in Files not working


I am having a really bizarre problem. Find in Files feature in VS2008 always finds zero matches when looking in the Entire Solution and gives the error 'No files were found to look in' when looking in Current Project. Looking in Current Document works just fine.

I've tried the ctrl+scroll lock thing with no success. Also, my folders aren't mark as system folders as some people suggested.

Any help on this is appreciated, a life without find in files is a life of deceit and dismay... :(


Solution

  • In your find dialog, expand the Find Options section.

    Make sure that the Look at there file types: is either blank, or *.*
