Description of the Issue

I have several files open in Notepad++, but when I try searching for some text with the 'File in Files' function, nothing happens, even though the searched text does appear in the opened files.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. open several files
  2. open the 'Find in Files' dialog (e.g.: CTRL+SHIFT+F)
  3. enter some text in the 'Find what:' field
  4. make sure other search options are appropriate for your search (e.g. 'Search Mode')
  5. click the 'Find All' button
  6. nothing happens, no window with search result opens

Current Behavior

'File in Files' function does not appear to work

Expected Behavior

'File in Files' function should find text in files that are currently opened
