VS 2017's new "Go to All" (Ctrl + T or Ctrl + ,) does not lists items for me.

Searched for a setting for it, no luck. Also no error messages regarding this at all.

Why is this happening, and how can I get the behaviour I expect?

    Does this start with a colon character ':' (goto line)? Because that is my current default and the reason why I am here? You can remove this to search all or press ? for more options. Does somebody know how to change this? – Remco Apr 25 '17 at 11:34

I encountered this issue as well. Somehow I had collapsed the list. If you hover over the point in the picture below you should get a resize handle. Grab it and pull it down to get your list back.

  • This unknowingly happened to me too, I thought it was some new feature from the update, something like "I'm feeling lucky" (like in google search) where it took you to first best result, but then I realized wait this is not right anymore XD. – Wappenull Dec 26 '22 at 11:53

For me the issue is hotkeys. Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard->Edit.GoToAll

assign shortcut keys (usually CTRL + ,)

For me - helped to move project folder to another path and open in visual studio as a new project. You can simply test that scenario by creating new visual studio solution and try to search there - if search will works, then folder movement could be a solution for you.

Just to note - i tried to open nodejs project, there are about more then 300k files and maybe it's the main reason, also maybe it was visual studio cache (tried to delete cache files - it was unhelpful).

I fixed this by deleting my .vs folder and *.csproj.user files from my repository (done with git-clean)
