Find stopped working in one project and never shows resuls

Hi there,

Please show how you Project View panel looks -- does it has the yellowish background on many/all files etc?

Do you have other unusual issues in this project?

Somehow the problem has resolved itself.

I am having the problem again and most of my files have a yellowish background.

Is it under VCS and you recently got the fresh code fetched from VCS?

Based on your description (yellowish background) it sounds that the IDE treats those files as "outside of the project". Could be due to the conflict (bad content) in .idea/modules.xml file (e.g. module points to another path/folder name due to sharing it via VCS) or some other kind of project config corruption.

Anyway:

1. Close the project in the IDE so you are on the Welcome screen
2. Locate and delete that project from the recent project screen (can be optional)
3. Exit the IDE
4. Go to that project root folder and backup and delete .idea subfolder (this project settings)
5. Launch the IDE again
6. Open that project again (may need to use "Open" and point to the project root, especially if you did #2) -- the IDE will make a new project from the existing files
7. If it works -- you may copy some of the config files from the backup (while project is closed in the IDE of course)

Does it work correctly now? I suggest you compare content of the modules.xml with backup copy and see if it has any difference (that may tell/hint you what happened)

Thank you Andriy Bazanov!! Deleting the .idea in the root project folder helped me get my search back 🙌🏻
