Is it open in screenshot 3 and closed in shots 1 and 2?

@roblourens yes, and I fixed the comment.

Please see these troubleshooting tips: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Search-Issues#missing-search-results

And attach the logs (instructions at the bottom of that page) if they don't help.

@roblourens I will follow Please see these troubleshooting tips and attach things later.

Before that, I have done a debug and find that:
search not work for a single file ( I found related things and reasons but no solution now), ref #48958 (as you say)

But why it works for the opened file (screenshot 3)?
I found it may come from the default action -- always search in opened files.
The file just feat the glob, so the results of the opened show in the GUI.

Wish to share these info to help for a solution.

Searching in open files does work differently from searching in other files, so that's expected.
