VS Code Search Extension

Description

The VS Code Search Extension is designed to reduce the context switch for developers when searching the web. Instead of navigating away from VS Code to look up information, errors, or code snippets, users can now search directly within the VS Code environment. This feature enhances productivity and streamlines the development process.

Features

• In-Editor Search: Perform web searches without leaving VS Code.
• Search from Text: Easily search by typing in a search box within VS Code.
• Contextual Search: Highlight a line of code or an error message, right-click, and select 'Search Google' to search directly.
• Split View Display: View search results in a split view, keeping your code and search results side by side.

Installation

• Open Visual Studio Code.
• Press Ctrl+P or Cmd+P on Mac to open the quick search box.
• Type ext install vscode-search-extension and hit Enter.
• Once installed, the extension is ready for use.

Usage

• Text Search: Press the search button in the editor to open a search text box. Type your query and press Enter. The search results will be displayed in a split view.
• Contextual Search: Highlight any text or error in your code. Right-click and select 'Search Google' from the context menu to perform a search with the highlighted text.

Requirements

No specific requirements needed apart from having Visual Studio Code installed.

Known Issues

• Some results dispalyed in the google search display, when a link is click a black screen is displayed. This is a known issue and will be addressed in future updates.
