I have found that once in a blue moon, a search in the editor set to "all text files" will only do one file at a time. So rare I've never been able to replicate it on purpose. I've assumed it's just some odd book.

OTOH, I do notice that if you run a saved search (usually several at a time) over "all style files", it will not catch everything unless at least one css file is open. So I've just gotten into the habit of making sure one is open if I do a search like that.
