Visual Studio 2008 stopped processing "find all"

Question

Suddenly, Visual Studio 2008 doesn't execute "find all" (Ctrl + Alt + F) for the solution correctly. This happened two days ago in the office and now on the computer at home.

I'm looking for a method, which is definitely declared in code, but Visual Studio 2008 outputs in Find Results window:

Find all "wlOutFile", Subfolders, Find Results 2, "Entire Solution", "*.*"
  No files were found to look in.
  Find was stopped in progress.

The options looks like this:

This is a known problem in Visual Studio 2008, and unfortunately (from what I know) it has not been resolved. Check this other Stack Overflow question: Visual Studio "Find" results in "No files were found to look in. Find stopped progress."
