Visual Studio "Find" results in "No files were found to look in. Find stopped progress."
- by suryasonti
Sometimes while developing in Visual Studio IDE, when you use "Find in Files" dialog to find something, the search fails and you will see the following message in the "Find Results" window.
"No files were found to look in. Find stopped progress."
Once this message shows-up all the subsequent searches will result in the same message. Nothing fixes the problem including restarting computer except Pressing "Ctrl + ScrLk".
Does anyone know what causes VisualStudio to get into this state and is there a setting to permanently prevent it from happening?
