 could help me find it.
That was when my stay in Vietnam became an adventure to remember. These girls, Dung, Linh, Tinh and Russia, turned the search for my hotel into a quest and between us we hustled up and down the street having a blast. Although they couldn’t understand me, nor I them, we seemed to reach a level of communication that got us by. I was almost disappointed when we finally found the front door, hidden away and looking like any old shop front as if desperate to remain hidden from the maddening crowd.
Even at this late hour Kim was still on duty waiting to make sure all her guests were tucked away for the night.
I decided that, if I was to buy any souvenirs, I would only buy from these girls who had helped me out finding my hotel. I saw lot of them on the street over the next days and learned a little about their way of life. I learned that when sales were poor, they compensated by not eating and so, as I cruised the street checking out, first one, then another coffee shop, I would invite them in for a sandwich or drink should they pass by.
The group grew to include Hue and her sister Huong and spending time with these girls taught me so much about what it means to live and work on the streets of a city such as this. I realised that I live a privileged existence: like being inside a plastic bubble, where there is always a safety net to catch those of us who might fall. For the locals born of this city, life is a continuous battle for survival. Yet despite all of this, the people here were always friendly and ready with a quick smile. It is a way of life very different from that which I have grown up in but one that I felt had a reality that will remain with me. These girls made my holiday all the richer for knowing them..
I gained their friendship and, I think, respect, for one night I was sitting in the middle of the street on the pavement chatting to them when another new girl arrived. I had not seen this new comer before but she had a very young toddler with her even though the hour was late.
She appeared to be having trouble with her phone, so I offered her mine to use. She promptly put her toddler on my lap and in that instant the atmosphere became quite tense. Hue, who was sitting behind me moved up very close and I felt a hand at the zip of my trouser pockets. I was all at once disappointed, for I had felt that we had built a friendship that was better than being pick-pocketed. Then I realised that the zipper was being closed and Hue then patted down my other pockets to make sure they were closed.
It turned out that the new comer used her child to pick the pockets of the unwary and Hue had moved in to protect me from becoming a victim. Such a small thing but it meant so much to me. It earned her a dinner out in a restaurant.
By the end of my time, the girls had asked if they could have a number so that they could keep in contact.
Q: Visual Studio "Find in Files" does not work Visual Studio (2010, Ultimate) finds nothing when I do Find in Files (Ctrl+Shift+F) in the Entire Solution. However, it finds 2 occurrences when searching Current Document or Current Project.
I see that the "Total files searched" in the output window is a random number, and does not correspond to the number of files in my solution (is much smaller).
I already did devenv /resetsettings but this didn't help.
Example of output of 2 consecutive searches in "all solution":

Find all "zoom -", Subfolders, Keep modified files open, Find Results
  1, "Entire Solution", "*.vb"
  Matching lines: 0    Matching files: 0 Total files searched: 24
  Find was stopped in progress.
Find all "zoom -", Subfolders, Keep modified files open, Find Results
  1, "Entire Solution", "*.vb"   Matching lines: 0    Matching files: 0 
  Total files searched: 32
  Find was stopped in progress.

I don't know why it says "Find was stopped", because I wait the end of search (don't press any buttons).

A: It's also not working for me on VS 2019 (16.6)
I use a workaround by switching to "Use previous Find in Files": Tools->Options->Environment->Preview Features

A: Like many other problems where VS simply stops to work properly, deleting the solutions.vs (located in the solution directory) seems to be a 'valid option'.
CAUTION: this will cause you to loose:

*

*breakpoints

*tabs / open documents

*currently set build configuration

*other non-vital information

... along with a lot of wrongly cached information that VS successfully managed to pile up leading to wrong find results.
I do this regularily when i encounter extreme lags even in debug-startups.

A: I think I recognize this wellknown, longstanding bug:


*

*https://web.archive.org/web/20100617142305/http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/105511/find-in-files-says-no-files-were-found-to-look-in-find-was-stopped
The workaround mentioned there worked for me when I had this problem 

I found a tip to try pressing Ctrl + ScrollLock to fix it, and it worked.

I think most people report success with the (Ctrl-)Break key, but some say (Ctrl-)ScrollLock worked instead

A: I had this problem in Visual Studio 2019 Professional. The above solutions did not work for me. I was able to solve this by:

*

*Press CTRL+F to open the find tool window


*Expand the drop down of your search history



*At the bottom of the drop down you should see Search Options and under that Find in Files..
Somehow, my options got saved as Current Directory and the bin, obj,
and packages sub directories.


*Change the "Look in" item to any other option and it started to behave as expected.

A: I experienced a similar but not identical symptoms in VS 2017.
In my case Find in Files searched 109 files; but that was only project files in the solution and dependencies. It turns out there is an option to "see more results", but it obscurely violates conventions making it less obvious. And to make it worse, I found I had to double-click (not just "click").
Observe the very last line after the summary. When I double-click that line, only then do I get expected behaviour!


A: This is obviously a way late answer but I did get here while looking for a solution to a somewhat similar issue and I'd like to share the fix which eventually worked:
Make sure you clear the "Look at these file types:" box from whitespaces which  will prevent the search from running properly.

A: Following worked for me.
Visual Studio-->Windows-->Reset Window Panel. The resizing of the  visual studio made it to hide the option. 

A: Visual Studio 2022 Community Edition v17.2.5
i uninstalled pro version and installed community, only solution worked for me is:
File Types : *.*

A: For me it started to work once I switched from "Find results 1 window" to "Find results 2 window" found in "Find and Replace" results option.

A: I fixed this by uninstalling and reinstalling Visual Studio (2017 Professional in my case). 

A: It's silly, but what fixed it for me was prefacing the file extensions with an asterisk under Look at these File types e.g.: *.js; *.aspx instead of just.js;.aspx Maybe try  *.*  if you're having this issue.

A: I just fixed mine by deleting and re-creating the solution/project files.
Nothing else worked (ie: no button presses, window reset. restarting VS and the PC)
A symptom of the issue I had was that it was only not finding stuff from certain projects, but was able to find the same text if it was referenced in other projects (ie: as if Find in Files was disabled for just one project/directory tree).
So if you have the same symptom and nothing else works then try this solution and let me know if that helps.

A: For me I just Change file types!!!
my version of visual studio is 16.11.9


A: I met this problem when I was debuging 2 solutions, one of which was csharp and another was cpp. When I did the search in the cpp solution, the "file types" were still ".cs;.cshtml...". Switching to "*.cpp;..." fixed the problem.
Because I usually work in csharp, and it did take me quite a time to realized it.

A: "Include miscellaneous files" works for me.


A: Make sure you are searching the Entire Solution and that you tick both of the options Include external files and Include miscellaneous files.
