Unable to search Sublime editor folder files

I am new to Sublime, used to using Dreamweaver as my web editor. I have my project folder open in the Sublime Text 3 and I need to search all the files for a particular link https://test.com. From what I found on the web I need to hit Shift+Ctrl+F, enter my search string and then in Where: type the folder path I want to search. I have done that but the result set is empty even though I know the string I am searching for is there multiple times.

I tried entering the full path: W:\Web\App1 (where App1 is the folder I have opened as the project folder) as well as App1 but nothing gets returned. What am I doing wrong here?

Similar to Ctrl+Shift+F, you can right-click on the folder you want to search in, then choose 'Find in Folder'

enter image description here

In the bottom 'Find' box, make sure to have the 'Find options buttons' (on the left of the image) correctly set.

This is a very powerful option I use very often. Now I've tested in my SublimeText3 to look for an url like the one you provide and it works fine, as usual. With this setup:

Regular Expression: Off, Case Sensitive: Off, Whole Words: Off ...but this options are pretty straightforward and shouldn't affect your basic searches.
