I know that is used to search : Ctrl+Shift+F or Edit | Find | Find in Path and it worked before, but now always returns the empty set, although I know that what I'm looking for - there is in the project

Maybe someone had this problem?

As lena said, the following should fix it for you:

  1. Click File -> Invalidate Caches / Restart..
  2. Click the button "Invalidate and Restart"
  3. After restart, try run the search again
