Cannot find ScriptableObject asset by search in Project Window when namespace of corresponding script is changed

Scripting

-

How to reproduce:
1. Download and open attached "Asset Namespace Change Bug" project
2. In the Project Window's search bar type "t:MyScript"
3. "New My Script.asset" shows up
4. Open "MyScript.cs" script and change the namespace to anything else (it is important to use VS potential fixes option after changing the namespace)
5. In the Project Window's search bar type "t:MyScript" again

Expected result: The "New My Script" asset shows up in Project Window
Actual result: The "New My Script" asset does not show up in Project Window

Reproduced with: 2017.1.5f1, 2017.2.3p3, 2017.4.9f1, 2018.1.9f1, 2018.2.3f1, 2018.3.0a8

Notes: - The asset still seems to work fine for all other purposes though. The "New New Behaviour Script.asset" still keeps its reference to the "New My Script.asset".
- Changing the namespace back or manually reimporting the asset fixes the issue.

    A couple of additional points:

    1. MonoScript's GetClass method returns null in the first domain reload after the namespace is changed (2019.1.0f2).
    2. A current workaround can be to use Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll, which will find the assets that AssetDatabase.FindAssets cannot find.
