Unable to find dimens value usage in Android Studio

I use Android Studio for development(professionally). If i have to find something in a project , I usually search for the usages in strings.xml and dimens.xml Sometimes, since the same dimens resource value is used in different files, I find the usages and check the files it is being used in. But I've noticed a strange thing and its been worrying me frequently. If I try to find the usages of a certain dimens value being used multiple places in the project. I get the following error.

Cannot search for usages. Position to an element to find usages for, and try again.

Screenshot of error: Error Message

And the worst part is it happens intermittently. Any idea how to fix this. : PS: I use Android Studio: 1.5.1

I noticed the same thing too, and I ended up getting a solution for that. If you are on Windows, use ctl+shift+F (or Mac, cmd+shift+F), then Android Atudio will pop a find-in-path window with many options.

Hope this help.
