Many rg.exe processes are spawned

[cveld]

Issue Type: Bug

1. Clone https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-js
2. Switch between branches
3. Vscode spawns many rg.exe processes to scan the new TypeScript files

VS Code version: Code 1.49.3 (2af051012b66169dde0c4dfae3f5ef48f787ff69, 2020-10-02T17:57:01.595Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18363

Does this happen if you start with --disable-extensions?

[cveld]

@roblourens Yes with extensions disabled the problem does not appear. Would be great to find out which extension is starting these rg.exe processes.

From the command line you can get a hint from what it's looking for, in this case, .ts/.tsx files. You can get more hints with these steps to get logs for search

• Run the command "Set log level" and change it to "Trace"
• Run the search again
• Show the search-related messages in the "Log (Window)" output panel
