Hello. I cannot reproduce this bug yet as files and directories in hidden directories are found (I also tested you "places.sqlite" example). Can you attach a screenshot of your search-tool-screen? I assume you probably have not added the "search in hidden..." option though you have selected it (you need to select it and add it - two steps).
