Sublime search “Find in Files” doesn't always work

[earthdog]

I have this SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26545505/sublime-search-find-in-files-doesnt-always-work

The EXACT same thing if i do it in .html , xml files e.t.c it works as it should. It returns a filled find results tab. In this file it doesn’t

I have a simple .log text file

When i search with ctrl+f everything is ok:

when i use ctrl+shift+f i have 0 results. Why?

I have no exceptions, standard setup

I had this problem too. It turned out it was happening because that file had some control characters in it (on purpose). When I delete them the problem is fixed…

Sublime Text 3 provides more information in the Find in Files results about any files that it’s skipping. Sublime Text 2 only logs this in the Console.
