Search in project not working correctly

[Jer T]

So I know this worked earlier in my project but it seems as it's progressed the function is no longer working. As in I get no results for things I type, or completely non applicable results.  Using the Find tool actually now crashes the program too.

This solution seemed to work for me as well. My project would leave out clips that should have appeared when I searched on a given term. I uploaded my project to the site tool mentioned above and it gave me a new project file. When I opened it in Premiere it complained that the file was too old and had to be upgraded. So, I saved this new version under a new name and the searches now respond correctly!

J,

I wouldn't trust any website like that with my project file. It's a hack that crudely alters the project file. Why not roll back the way approved by the Premiere Pro team, by exporting FCP XML? That usually does the job just fine.

Thanks,

Kevin

Well, first, I made a copy of it before I did anything. Second, others (in
this thread) have tried the XML route and it hasn't worked.

It's been 5 years and this still was not fixed. The project explorer's search function randomly stop workings and there's no fix in sight. Why am I paying for this software?
