Screenshots? Ugh. The prefs are stored in a .plist, so it would be much easier and quicker to keep your old file, make a new one, then open both and copy the new find prefs into your file. I think these are the ones to copy:

PBXFindIgnoreCase
PBXFindMatchStyle
PBXFindOptionsNamePatterns
PBXFindType
PBXGlobalFindOptionsSets


Sure, but that's not a supported way of resolving such problems. The contents of the preference file is private, and subject to change. You can guess at the keys involved, and their inter-relationship, but if you guess wrong you might end up breaking Xcode.

I'm not saying that your suggestion wouldn't work in this particular case, my point is that this approach won't be the official solution in the general case.


Although his problem might not be prefs at all. I've had Xcode refuse to "know" about any header files when doing searches due to symbols being removed or corrupt data or something like that. So multifile searches wouldn't work until I built the project, or cleaned and rebuilt it.


That would have been for a "Definitions" search though, right? As far as I can tell, the OP was referring to a standard "Textual", or possibly "Regular Expression", search operation.

Definition search operations depend on having an up to date and healthy project index. Hitting the "Rebuild Code Sense Index" button in the Project inspector would probably be the best way to resolve problems with the index. After first filing a bug report, of course.
