Find Results not displaying Results

Question

Today my Find Results feature of Visual Studio 2012 stopped working. The Find Results windows displays summary information, but not the actual lines matched. This is all my Find Results window displays:

Find all "mytext", Subfolders, Find Results 1, Entire Solution, ""
  Matching lines: 40    Matching files: 10    Total files searched: 1129

I have tried all of the fixes this Microsoft forums poster has tried:

http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/csharpide/thread/1a02f076-29f7-46d1-879a-f8ae6d6abe95

His solution was to reformat and re-install. The Microsoft MSDN Forum Assistant's answer is awesome:

"Glad to know that you will not not be botherd by this weird problem ."

Has anyone found an actual solution to this problem?

Answer 1

Check registry fixes in this thread. That helped me.

To make sure it won't disappear I'm copying the solution from Martin Rosselle here:

Please check if the following registry key is ok. Fixing this solved the issue for me.

• Copy the text below and save it as .reg file.
• Go to regedit.exe and import saved .reg file or simply open the file with Registry Editor and click yes when prompted to continue.
