Forgot to mention: Before January update this was working just fine (albeit really slowly)

@NullScope is this on Windows or OSX? Can you provide steps how you setup the junctions?

@bpasero This is on Windows.

Here are the steps to reproduce the bug:

• Create one folder called FolderTest ( e.g C:/FolderTest )
• Create two child folders called FolderOne and FolderTwo ( e.g C:/FolderTest/FolderOne & C:/FolderTest/FolderTwo )
• Fill both folders with random files ( e.g C:/FolderTest/FolderOne/random.txt )
• Create one folder somewhere else called JunctionFolder ( e.g Documents/JunctionFolder )
• Use mklink in cmd with administrative rights and create two junctions inside the folder

In my case the commands were:
mklink /D "D:\Users\Bruno Ribeiro\Documents\JunctionFolder\FolderOne" "C:\FolderTest\FolderOne"

mklink /D "D:\Users\Bruno Ribeiro\Documents\JunctionFolder\FolderTwo" "C:\FolderTest\FolderTwo"

• Now open a brand new window in Visual Studio Code without any project folders
• Drag-in JunctionFolder into Visual Studio Code

Now try to open a random file inside FolderOne using "Go to File" ( or Ctrl+P ) and Visual Code Studio will say there were no results found, however the sidemenu can navigate the files just fine.

• Now open again a brand new window
• Drag-in JunctionFolder/FolderOne

Doing the exact same search using "Go to File" ( or Ctrl+P ) and Visual Code Studio will be able to find the file instantly.

My project is much more complicated than this obviously as it works under an framework with a lot more child folders. But for git it has to be setup as the two top folders while my project is sitting as one of the many child folders inside those two folders.

@NullScope excellent steps for me to verify. the issue is that since January release, quick open and full text search fail to work over links pointing to directories.

@alexandrudima please verify on windows and mac/linux

@bpasero Thank you! Glad to hear you are able to fix this issue!

Verified search and ctrl+p in windows and linux with a "junction" folder.

@bpasero If the code is different for mac than for linux, please also assign another person for verification.

Should be good, thanks!
