Find in files with buffer displays results as "<binary>"

#1

I use sublime to read log files a lot. I use Find in files… (CMD+SHIFT+F) with the buffer on so that I can view multiple instances of the search string together and I can click on the buffer to go to that line in the original file. I am not sure what happened but since few days ST3 is showing the results as

Searching 1 file for "xyz"

/Users/ptewari/Downloads/myfiles.log:
    <binary>

158 matches in 1 file

I am not able to figure out why ST3 is not showing me all the results.

Please advice.
Thanks

As of July 25, 2020, Sublime Text still hasn’t fixed the problem of searching multiple files and bumping into the issue. Frustrating. Notepad++ handles these searches capably.
