But if i load up for example the Textmate project Find in Project… seems to work just fine and i can’t for the life of the figure out what the problem is. Maybe I’m not understanding what Find in Project… does or maybe I’m confused as to what or how a project is made in Textmate 2. Any ideas are most welcome.


Two quick possibilities (though there may be others):

1) Are you sure that the selection criteria

       In: <place> matching <pattern>

   in the Find in Project dialog box are not set in a way that excludes the files
   you are looking for?  For example, try setting this to

       In: [Project Folder] matching *

2) The setting

       excludeInFolderSearch

   and possibly other "exclude" settings may be excluding the files you are
   looking for.  See
       
       http://blog.macromates.com/2011/git-style-configuration/
       http://wiki.macromates.com/Reference/Settings/

   for more info; in particular, note that these may be set in several different
   locations.

FWIW, I use Find in Project pretty regularly in TM2 and haven't noticed the problem you are describing.
