Thanks for submitting this issue. Please also check if it is already covered by an existing one, like:

• Visual Studion code does not keep the old search results in the search pane or provide a drop down list of previous search phrases. (#12184)
• Find in Folder... option isn't working as expected (#37219)

I found the issue. It seems that if the folder is synced with OneDrive, vscode deosn't get access to the folder and hence cannot search of anything. If I move the folder to another directory, things work as expected.

An error for not being able to access the folder would be nice. :) Cheers and sorry for the noise.
