Problem:
When searching my project for different variables defined in my COBOL program, I can not locate them using Find in Files, but they are really there.
Resolution:
The problem is that your sample has multiple COBOL copybooks using the definitions you are searching for, but they are in different locations (different directories on your PC and on your network).
This may not be clearly documented, but the Find in Files allows one to concatenate different directories for the 'Search In' definition. See number 4 below. I took your copybooks and divided them alphabetically into 4 directories and then I searched. It worked. I used this string for my test:
d:\\calls\\2087888b\\cpyone;d:\\calls\\2087888b\\cpytwo;d:\\calls\\2087888b\\cpytre;d:\\calls\\2087888b\\cpyfo
The problem is that one must know where the copybooks are located (or at least their parent directory).
The online Help says this:

To find text in a number of files
1. Click Search > Find in Files.
2. In 'Find this', specify the text to find.
3. In 'In these files', specify the type of file to look in. Wildcards are
permitted, so you could specify *.* to search all files.
4. In 'Starting in', specify the folders containing files you want to
search. The search is not limited to the files in the current project.
5. Check any of the following options that you might require:
a. 'Search sub-folders' to search all subfolders under your chosen
starting folder
b. 'Use alternate output tab' to have the option of a secondary
Find in Files page. This prevents overwriting the results of
a previous search.
c. 'Report only first match per line'.
d. 'Save modified files before find' to save any changes
you have made.
e. 'Match case' to perform a case-sensitive search.
f. 'Match whole words only'.
g. 'Report line numbers only' to see the line number rather
than the position of the text.
6. Click Find.
The Find in Files page of the Output window lists all occurrences
of the found text in the specified files.
Tip
Double-click a line in the Output window to display that instance
of the found text.
Notes:
Source lines containing the search string are not highlighted.
You cannot compress source lines within a program containing
the search string.
