Files are not findable within search nor open Follow
Answered
When I try and either find contents in a file, or even open a file with Ctrl-Sh-N, the file is simply not being searched or available.
These particular files are part of components, which are built using lerna, so they also have node-modules within them as symlinks.
When I invalidate the caches and restart, the appear for a minute but then they go away after indexing is finished. I have no idea whey these files are being hidden
any thoughts?

Disable .ignore plug-in: http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/webhelp/enabling-and-disabling-plugins.html .
Serge, I almost can't tell if you are joking with me :) I have a lot of plugins but none called ignore. I know how to disable plugins but that isn't one of them.
I'm certainly not joking, it's a known issue caused by the .ignore plug-in:

But if you don't have it, then your case is different.
Could you please check if https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/ works better for you?
I am now on 2017.3 and that didn't help. It is strange because it finds everything except files within a subdirectory called api. Could that be a keyword or something? Anything within the api sub directory, and all its children, are not searchable or available.
Please file a bug at https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/IDEA with a small project to reproduce and idea.log: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/articles/207241085.
