Find in Files doesn't search in .cs files out of the box in Mono build

Tested versions

Reproducible in 4.3 RC3
Not reproducible in 4.2

System information

Issue description

After I updated to 4.3 RC3, Find in Files no longer returns any results.

Steps to reproduce

Using not-menu-bar, Search > Find in Files (or shift+command+F).
Enter text you can see
Click Find…

Search results are empty and show 0 matches in 0 files.

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

My sincere apologies, this did work with a new project. It repeatedly fails with my large project (unless I go back to 4.2). So I can’t provide an MRP. I do want to make you aware of the bug, however.

Is it text in the cs files? I do not see cs in the filter list, so it's possible that #94680 has not fixed all .NET detection cases (project settings might too early to check for the class type)

I found #52789 which seemed to suggest .gdignore was responsible. If I remove this file, Find in Files works as expected.

If I create a brand new project with one Control and one attached GDScript script, I cannot find the text in that script after I create a .gdignore at the top level.

This is a mixed GDScript/C# project, so not sure why .cs isn’t showing up as an option. However, I am using Godot to search my .gd files, which is what is failing.

If I create a brand new project with one Control and one attached GDScript script, I cannot find the text in that script after I create a .gdignore at the top level.

That seems to be intentional, directories with a .gdignore file are ignored.

• Make "Find in Files" ignore directories with .gdignore in them #51081
• Stop the searching of find in files in folders that have .gdignore #85943

Fair enough, I’ll have to see why I wanted to exclude files from res:// (probably to keep ReadMe.txt from cluttering the Godot editor file list), and if there’s a different way to do it.

To be clear, .gdignore excludes the whole folder it's in. It's not a pattern-based exclusion list like .gitignore, just the presence of the file (empty) means the folder is excluded.

If you put it in res://, I'd expect the whole project to simply stop working.

[alakoring]

In fact, everything worked in 4.2 with a top-level .gdignore, and it looked like only Find in Files stopped working in 4.3 RC3. (But I don’t think any of files I didn’t want to see were actually excluded from the file list!) I removed it as that seems to be the intent.

Not sure if I should close the issue though, it does seem odd that none of the .cs files could be searched.

I repurposed the issue to keep track of that, which should be fixed when #95502 is merged.
