I have a react project and the intellij shows the public/scripts as a different color. When I search word in project, it doesn't search from files in public/scripts.

See figure: I want to search syncHistoryWithStore, it only displays four occurrences in appSpec.js, but apparently I have this word in app.js.

Red color means that the public/scripts folder is excluded from project (navigation, search, indexing). If you select scope: Project IDE does not perform search inside it. Try selecting the scope to Directory ans select this folder directory. Then text search should work even on excluded folder.

Find in Directory works now. Is there a way to include public/scripts to my project? Since I would like search in project.
Try un-mark it as excluded from context menu as shown here jetbrains.com/help/idea/….
I also noticed sometimes it doesnt work when $ sign is next to a word , say a PHP variable. Because it enables regex in find popup sometimes. I got it working after enabling and disabling that Regex checkbox in the same popup
