Caution: Webstorm Find in Path does not look inside Regex Strings!
I was looking for a string in the project which I knew was there, but was unable to find it. The string occurs as part of a Regular Expression definition (its a Step Definition in a Cucumber Test). So it appears that Webstorm is NOT searching inside the strings of a Regular Expressions definition
The moment I add the Circumflex to the phrase, then it immediately finds it.
Not sure if this is a bug or a feature? Personally I would prefer it finds the string where ever it appears, including inside a Regex definition. But thought I should post this in case anyone else runs into this issue.

please provide a code sample (Step Definition code you searched in) and screenshot of your Find in Path settings
Hi Elena
Ultimately I upgraded my version of Webstorm and after that the Search All started working. It seemed that somehow this facility was failing in the earlier version. Although for such an important feature to be buggy is very strange as it would render the IDE rather useless
