In Visual Studio 2015, I can't seem to find my "Find in Files" modal window. When I type cntrl+shift+f or go to Edit > Find and Replace > Find in Files, visual studio appears to recognize the command, I just cannot see the window. Is there a way I can reset my visual studio settings so that I can see this window again?

In Visual Studio 2022 and later, you can set Visual Studio to always keep results. Go to Tools > Options > General > Find and Replace, and select the checkbox for Keep search results by default.
Ctrl + Shift + F – Find in Solution Sometimes you want to search across your entire solution. You can double-click each item in the “Find Results” window to navigate to that instance of the search term you searched for.
Searching All Open Files To perform a search across all your open files, use the following shortcuts. For Mac use “Command + Shift + F”. For Windows and all other operating systems use “Ctrl + Shift + F”.
Activate it (Ctrl+Shift+F), then with the mouse select Window->Dock. It docked it above my Output window and made it visible again.
Weirdly, when I did Window->Reset Window Layout, it reset everything, but did not show that window or make it show up when I chose Find in Files.

Window->Reset Window Layout should revert to the default layout.
If you have exported your settings previously (before you lost the Find in Files window), you can re-import those settings as well. That's found under the Tools menu. You can clear 'All Settings' and select General Settings->Window Layouts only, if you want.
