If i opened the file i could find in it, if i had the file opened find in project could also find it, so why couldn’t it find it when it wasn’t open, maybe textmate 2 internally converts the file to UTF8 when it opens it and find only works on UTF8?

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 *

Yep, they are all correct and still no joy.

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.

I’ve searched thru my entire home folder for every .tm_properties and there is nothing there excluding this file pattern, I’ve tried to change the filename ending to something else and no luck. By chance i had a sp.sublime-workspace file in there and i can search that one. If i open a file then find in project finds a match in that one.

As i said, i have other projects were find in project works fine, just not this one and i can't for the life of me find a good solid reason for it, here is the weird part, at the bottom of the find in project dialog it actually says ‘No result for “blaah”. (searched 255 files in 0.6 seconds) so it seems it is searching the files but not finding the string, a string i know is in there. These are a sql files it is searching thru.
