Keyword Permutation Search

This VS Code extension lets you search for code using any combination of keywords, regardless of their order in the identifier or line. It’s great for finding long or complex names without needing to remember the exact format.

🚀 Usage

  1. Open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
  2. Type Keyword Search and select the command.
  3. Enter your keywords (space-separated) and press Enter.

💡 Use Cases

  • Descriptive identifiers: Easily find names like IconLeftMediumTitle using partial inputs like title icon.
  • Partial function search: Locate functions like useUserWithPerms = (doc: Document) => {...} with queries like user document perms.
  • Works through camelCase: Input like user perms will match useUserWithPerms.

⚠️ Notes

This extension builds a regex pattern from your keywords. For large codebases, performance may degrade — use the files to include field to narrow your scope if needed.

This is a pragmatic solution to a common search pain — quick, powerful, and flexible.
