I'm not sure why they aren't listed or found by search. Could they be tagged with a condition that's hidden? 

But in any case, when you break xrefs by changing a file name or path, there's a faster way to fix them. 

1. Select Edit > Update References, and in the dialog, select All Cross-References and click Update. 
The Update Unresolved Cross-References dialog appears. 

2. In the list at the top, select the file you renamed (by its the old name) to see how many unresolved xrefs there are to that file. 

3. Under For Cross-References to Selected File, Look In, browse to and select the renamed file, and click Open. 

That fixes all the xrefs to a give file at once. Repeat for other renamed files. 

HTH!
