Is there an existing issue for this?
Description of the Issue
the contents of file which is not synchronized with corresponding buffers is ignored by the Find in Files feature
I can see both behaviors being of interest, but the terminology in the dialog (tab) suggests that it's the files that should be searched
Steps To Reproduce
- Open ro file foo.txt containing "foo" and ro file bar.txt (same dir) containing "bar"
- select the foo.txt tab, highlight foo, and do Ctrl+Shift+F to search all txt files in the current dir
- only foo.txt shows up in the Search results pane
- replace bar.txt with a file containing "foo bar"
- repeat the search, same result (only foo.txt)
- select the bar.txt tab, and agree to reload it
- repeat the the search, different results (both foo.txt and bar.txt)
Current Behavior
buffers of open files are searched, even if out-of-sync
Expected Behavior
files should be searched
