Sometimes, when searching in Visual Studio (all version since 2003 at least) you get this message:<\/p>\n
No files were found to look in.
\nFind was stopped in progress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nIt cannot find any match for the search criteria, even if there are thousands. And it displays that message immediately after pressing Search. You can search again (for something else), restart Visual Studio, restart Windows, it will do no good. The message will always be the same.<\/p>\n
What’s the cause? I don’t know, but I’ve noticed this happens when I search for something while the solution is building.<\/p>\n
