In the top-level menu, select "Search" - "File" ... Then at the bottom (in the area) there is a choice to select the entire workspace.

In your "Search for a file a problem" you need to update the files in the workspace, in the Project Explorer / packages, right-click and select "Update" at any level (project, folder, file). This will synchronize the workspace with the underlying file system and prevent the problem.
