RXJS Observable missing definitions

Question

I started a new AngularCLI project in Visual Studio Code. I'm using rxjs Observables, however, Observable is missing a lot of definitions compared to another AngularCLI project. Both projects are using rxjs version 5.4.2. My new AngularCLI project shows only 3 definitions for Observable and is finding those definitions in node_module\rxjs\add\operator. However, my other AngularCLI project lists 127 definitions for Observable but finds them in node_module\rxjs\add\observable as well as node_module\rxjs\add\operator.

Here's an image of project with 3 definitions sourced from node_module\rxjs\add\operator:

Here's an image of project with 127 definitions sourced from node_module\rxjs\add\observable and node_module\rxjs\add\operator:

I've verified that node_module\rxjs\add\observable and node_module\rxjs\add\operator folders are the exact same in each project.

Why is one project pulling definitions from multiple locations? How do I get my project to find all of the definitions for an Observable?

Thanks for your help.

It's very possible that in your larger project that you have imported the entire rxjs library by doing something like

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';

When it should be

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';

Without seeing all your usages of rxjs, this is my best guess.
