Search

Jump to a file by name or content from the sidebar search box.

Preview — early access.

Overview

The search box at the top of the file tree finds a file two ways at once: by filename, from a persistent index that answers instantly, and by content, from a bounded scan across the workspace.

How it works

Type at least two characters and press Enter (or Escape to clear). Filename matches come back first since they're served from an index; content matches follow from a scan and can include a line number and a text preview. Results merge into one list, filename hits deduped against any content hit on the same path, with a note if the content scan was truncated for size.
