Question

I used to be able to search for a text in every file in solution, like that: http://vvcap.net/db/lWMPaSHxormUrFYlLo0Q.htp . After upgrading to VS2010 SP1, this doesn’t work anymore:

Find all "description", Match case, Whole word, Subfolders, Keep modified files open, Find Results 1, "Entire Solution", "*.*"
  No files were found to look in.
  Find was stopped in progress.

What’s interesting, I can still search if I know file extension, like this: http://vvcap.net/db/IFr8jCUa7J79sauBsNFC.htp :

Find all "description", Match case, Whole word, Subfolders, Keep modified files open, Find Results 1, "Entire Solution", "*.cs" 
... 
...   
Matching lines: 485    Matching files: 109    Total files searched: 970

Anyone knows wtf is going on here, and how to get around this?

Answer 1

I don’t know what happened, but now my VS is searching for “*” again. Maybe after last windows update… I have no reasonable explanation as to wtf happened
