Atom, search in all the files

Question

I'm trying to do a complete search through Atom, looking for a specific text. Well, this sounds very simple, using Command + Shift + F but, there the node_modules are not tracked and the content inside of those directories are not scanned. I'm not sure if it is because are untracked files defined by .gitignore or the packages are excluded. How I can do a full search in my opened project?

Answer 1

This is probably due to the Exclude VCS Ignored Paths setting in Atom's Core settings. Please try the search again after unselecting the respective checkbox in the settings:

You can find this setting on the first page of the Atom Settings, a bit down under Core Settings.

The setting's description describes what is excluded from functionality like the fuzzy finder and the search and replace function. You're probably running into that at the moment...
