        @BeatBullz ,

        In general, Find in Files works just fine. So it might be something specific to what you’re doing.

        The first thing I would try is running non-Admin. Because sometimes, run-as-admin confuses things. (For many things, I would try to replicate to help you, but my IT department won’t let me run Notepad++ as admin, so I cannot replicate that condition.)

        Also, what are your Find In Files dialog settings? Alt+PrintScreen the dialog, and Ctrl+V to paste it into your reply, so we can see it all.

        (For example, if you have a regular expression in your search, but the search mode is normal search, it won’t match anything.)

        Also, supplying us with your ?-menu’s Debug Info might give us insight (or at least let us know exactly which version you have installed, to help replicate the problem)
