Unable to search inside the vendor/ directory in atom

Tags:

atom-editor

I am working on a Laravel project, but when I try to use the "project search" or "fuzzy open" features, none of the files in the vendor/ directory are being found.

I tried changing the list of 'Ignored Files' to just .git, didn't work.

How do I search for a file in Atom editor?

There is an Atom package named incremental search that you can use to search thru open files. After installing incremental-search you can type command-i and this opens a text box near bottom of screen where you can input your search string.

Have you tried changing the setting for Settings > Core Settings > Exclude VCS Ignored Paths? This is checked by default, and the fuzzy finder will not show files that are ignored.

Here's a screenshot showing the box to uncheck:
