Find in files does not search files with some characters in file names

#1

I was searching for content in files and sublime is just ignoring files with _. in the name. I have two files with the same extension in the same folder. Instead of Searching 3 files for "..." ST logs Searching 2 files for "..." to the find results window.

No mater if I use no include and exclude filter at all or *.* the file with _. in the file name is not searched at all

Please help!

what does your binary_file_patterns preference look like, maybe it is configured to ignore those files?

Dear @kingkeith,

Thanks for your quick response!

The binary_file_patterns is not overridden by my user settings.

"binary_file_patterns": ["*.jpg", "*.jpeg", "*.png", "*.gif", "*.ttf", "*.tga", "*.dds", "*.ico", "*.eot", "*.pdf", "*.swf", "*.jar", "*.zip"],

The file extension in my case is .csproj which is a C# project - just an XML file.

The fact that the setting is a list of file extensions and my test case included the same file extension being found when the characters ._ are not in the file name leads me to believe the issue must be somewhere else.
