如何在当前打开的文件夹/工作空间中搜索所有文件？

Question

I'm searching for a particular piece of text and using the Search functionality within VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+F). I type some text in the search box and it shows the results only from files that are open already. How do I search for all the files within that workspace / open folder?

(I'm quite new to VS Code so this might be something simple)

Answer 1

Maybe you have the 'Use Exclude Settings And Ingore Files' toggled?

Answer 2

(dont have enough rep to comment so answering with more questions sorry)

I have the same problem, I have 50 large log files (14mb - 38mb) to search through in a single folder. I have no exclusions set and the folder containing these log files is the only folder in the workspace.

If I search I can only view results from open files. I can only open 17 files at a time so I do not have a simple work around.

Possible causes I can think of: 1. Mac OS X specific bug / setting 2. Large files stop the search functionality and only large files loaded into memory (open?) can be searched

I do not know if either of these are true of your project. Other editors that skip over large files provide a warning so perhaps this is the case but it is failing silently which is very unhelpful.
