Cannot search certain folder structures

#1

If I attempt to add a certain folder structure to sublime, I am unable to search it. All searches say ‘0 files searched’. I can open up the file, and then the file will be searched, but there are too many files for this to be a viable solution.
The folder structure shows up as gray. The files have .json extensions. I surmised this may be related to the folder structure being read-only (it is under version control with Perforce so this is normal) but making it writable makes no difference. I have also searched this folder structure in the past a LOT without issue, so this feels like a recent problem. The problem does not go away upon restart.

The above example shows one of the folders and files that i’m having trouble with.

The file that’s not being searched is being ignored by your .gitignore file; it not being searched is an indication that the Use gitignore button in the Find in Files panel is turned on. Turning it off will allow searching in that folder.

Well that’s what I get for having a version control system in an ignored folder of another version control system :slight_smile:
Thanks for that tip @OdatNurd! Works fine now!
