Hard Coded References & Instance Migration: Search in Eclipse returns no Results

Hello,

I'd really appreciate some help. Our instance migration is happening this weekend. I've tried using Eclipse with Force.com IDE to find our hard-coded references, and have followed the instructions here https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000230820&language=en_US&type=1
however, every time I search, I get zero results. Where am I going wrong??

I really need some help. I don't understand why this is happening when I've followed the instructions?

Thanks

Hi Arya

If I understood it correctly you wish to search where all the hardcoded instance URL is used in the org.
If yes then its quite simple,follow this:
1. Take backup of all supported metadata components in your local machine.
2. Open the project in sublime/eclipse.
3. Search the entire directory for that URL.

Cheers!!!
