Search doesn't work after latest upgrade
Hi,
After upgrading to: JetBrains Rider 2025.3.0.1 - search doesn't find *anything* - I've had something similar happen with 2025.2 I believe and in the end I had to reinstall Rider …
Is there some trick/setting/steps that I'm missing?
Thanks.

To make things weirder, if I connect to WSL - search is fine. But on Windows, it doesn't work
Hello Roxin,
That sounds weird. Would you mind elaborating on the issue? What exact search doesn't work? Please share a full-screen screenshot demonstrating the issue so that we can be on the same page.
Hi,
I don't think there's much to show :) . In the screenshot bellow nothing is returned. Folders are indexed (or at least I have the option to turn off indexing so it must be on).
It's somehow related to one project so I assume something got stuck for this one in particular (large monorepo).
Other projects I can search no problem, if I open the same project but under WSL it also works fine to search … seems like the Angular extension is also not starting …
Not sure if there's a way to reset “everything” for one particular project.
Thanks
PS: can't really do a full screen screenshot unfortunatelly.
Hello Roxin,
Thank you for the details shared. We are currently investigating this issue as a part of RIDER-132487 "Find in Files" never finding
Please watch the issue for further updates.
Meantime, would you mind telling me if this setting is enabled and does toggling it (and restarting Rider) helps?
Additional note:
Do I understand correct, exactly the “Find in Files” doesn't work, right? What about Search Everywhere (Shift+Shift → Text)?
Will “Find in Files” work if you select an exact sample directory in the explorer and try to “Find in Files” there (Select directory → Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+F)?
Hi,
Search Everywhere works correctly - and yes, it's the same issue as RIDER-132487 "Find in Files" never finding - thanks for pointing me to that.
The setting was enabled, I disabled and restarted - still no search results.
Thanks
Let me know if that helps.
Huh…just sent an email to JB on this. Rider isn't finding any text for me (even in regular .cs files). I tried invalidating caches to no avail. This wasn't an issue just before i upgraded.
The search all function has always been incredibly flaky in my experience often failing to find stuff right in the currently opened window or including gibberish from files outside of the solution even when the options specify not to, but i can usually get it working again (or it magically starts working). Not this time though.
Hello Brightly Lit, did you try disabling the Vue.js plugin?
Dmitry Kazantsev thanks! I had the same issue with the search, but enabling the repository view helped for me. The plugin was already disabled.
