Atom, search in all the files

Tags:

atom-editor

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?

How do you use Atom autocomplete?

The autocomplete system lets you view and insert possible completions in the editor using Tab or Enter . By default, the autocomplete system will look through the current open file for strings that match what you're starting to type.

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:

Atom 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...
