I installed the Pre-VS2022-0.9.39.VSIX package on a fresh VS2019 16.11.24 installation. The extension is listed as successfully installed, but the options do not appear in Tools/Options, and I am unable to cause the "Code Search" window to show up with Ctrl-;. Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard doesn't list the relevant shortcuts. I've checked Visual Studio's activity log, nothing untoward is obvious:

When I open a solution, I see the devenv sub-processes named VsChromium.Server and VsChromium.Host (32 bit). They exhibit no CPU activity though. The log tells me that an appropriate number of files were parsed, but that's it. If I modify some source file, the log reflects the fact the database was updated accordingly. So all in all, everything is working well, besides the fact the results are not accessible...

I managed to solve the issue by uninstalling the extension, then run "devenv /resetsettings", then reinstalling it. My gut feeling is that the extension installation process took longer than my previous attempts, suggesting it was doing more work.
