In the last two weeks, and for reasons unknown to me, PhpStorm has stopped finding strings in project searches (although I know they are there). I have the latest version of PhpStorm installed.
Ctrl + Shift + F goes through the motions but returns nothing.
Does anybody else have this problem and a solution?

From the main menu, select Navigate | Search Everywhere or press Shift twice to open the search window. By default, PhpStorm displays the list of recent files.
From the main menu, select Edit | Find | Find in Files Ctrl+Shift+F . In the search field, type your search string. Alternatively, in the editor, highlight the string you want to find and press Ctrl+Shift+F . PhpStorm places the highlighted string into the search field.
Press Ctrl+Shift+N and start typing your query, CamelCase and snake_case are supported. The list shrinks as you type. Select the file or folder you need and press Enter . If you selected a file, WebStorm opens it in a new editor tab.

Please use File | Invalidate Caches... and restart IDE -- it usually helps in such "suddenly stopped working" situations (similar to "reboot your PC" solution).
The reason is that some indexes got broken or out of sync for some reason .. and this action just marks all caches and indexes as "invalid/damaged" so IDE will discard them on next launch (you can check idea.log for exact wording).
Please note that this will also discard your Local History in case you are using it.
