Steps to reproduce:

Enter Search Phrase - 'mounted' perhaps

Select Find In: "Selected Files In Site"

Select Vue Components folder.

Click Find All

Receive nothing.

I have .vue added to Preferences > File Types > Open in code view.

MacOs Sierra

    I know one would expect find and replace to be a simple text feature, and could be used on anything using text, unfortunately it does not.

    If Dw does not natively support the file type, or cannot understand what is being asked of it, it will not work as expected. It should work on an open .vue documents code.

    I've never used VUE files.  What is it used for?

    It's a google code structure, mainly used for creating app components, though I have found it to be another 'lets do it this way' framework, that does not live up to its promise, (typical google).
