Hidden files are already visible in my computer (I used Revealer) but I can't use finder to find .htaccess files. I tried typing .htaccess in the search field, selected the options "File visibility" = "Invisible Items", "System Files" = "are included", also tried .htaccess in the "File extension" option (together and separately in different combinations) with no luck. I get other files in the search results, but no hidden files.
I tried also searching for .git files, same thing: 0 items found. Searching for regular files works fine. I'm using OSX Yosemite.
I saw older answers in superuser.com and nothing worked for me.
How can I use Finder to search for hidden files? What am i doing wrong??

Are you sure that file exists in your computer ? .htaccess is not found in OSX by default – pun – 2015-08-10T22:12:59.043
@The_IT_Guy_You_Don't_Like yes I just created a new .htaccess file in my Desktop (the file is not even invisible or hidden) and it doesn't show up in a search with Finder. – Luciano – 2015-08-11T10:37:52.493
also why the downvote? I did some research, put some effort and I can't find a solution for my question. – Luciano – 2015-08-11T10:39:21.313
