I think the problem is that the directory where Find in files is working is not set correctly. To see if that's the case, please press the + button in Find in Files and be sure that the Here option is selected and points to the directory you want to search in.

This is an image of Find in Files after pressing that button:

Thanks Carlos, but that's not it. Path is the same there, but still doesn't show results. I have to note again that I have the impression that it doesn't even start to search through the files....

[ccordoba12]

Then I can't reproduce this error, sorry.

Are you using Qt 4 or Qt 5?

[mherrmann3]

I'm using this:

Python 3.5.2 64bits, Qt 5.7.1, PyQt5 5.7.1 on Linux

[nbonacchi]

Qt Versions: 5.6.0, PyQt5 5.6 on Linux

It's the same issue as previous release #4005 that you hoped it got corrected with PR #4144

[ccordoba12]

@nbonacchi, did you test that the search directory is selected correctly? It's the only thing being different between searching when using projects and not using projects.

[nbonacchi]

Yes, folder is correct, whether using projects or no projects I still get nothing... It's really weird.

Find in files is going to be dramatically improved in Spyder 3.2, thanks to pull request #4056.

So unless you help us to solve this problem by finding its cause and sending us a pull request for it, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until 3.2 is released to get a fix for this.

3.2 is planned to be released in mid April.
