Visual Studio “Find in Files” does not work

Question

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 se

Answer 1

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!
