Sorry, it is the button of ‘Use Exclude Setting’ selected, unselected it and the search works fine.

I close this issue by myself.

I’d like to reopen this as the behaviour is not obvious at all. I had to dig around GH to figure this out and almost logged the same bug you just had.

If I go to 'Find in Folder…" specifically, it should definitely find in that folder no matter what the settings say. It’s an explicit action.
