When I do a directory-wide text search, I receive many “ERROR: Unable to open file” errors. These are all files on my local machine that I have full permissions for, so not sure why this is occurring.
ERROR: Unable to open file

When I experienced this, it was because of broken symlinks. To check this:
# copy the file path from the sublime 'find in files' results
ls -la path/to/the/file
# you may see the link is broken, my terminal highlights this
unlink path/to/the/file
# to make a new symlink
ln -s actual/path/to/original/source/file path/to/the/file
