WSL: Cross-file search keeps displaying old results

[malazri1]

Type: Bug

When I'm using WSL remote (WSL-2 with Ubunto 20.04) I face an issue with cross file searches. When I search for something then change the search terms I keep seeing the old results displayed. This issue happens more frequently when: 1- I change the terms while the first search is still pending 2- The first search terms include non-word characters (such as double quotes ")

In addition, file searching in this remote is very slow and cannot be stopped. Since searching starts automatically once the user types anything, if the user types a commonly-used character (like double quotes or hyphen, or just any common letter), the search will start and will not be restarted as the user adds more terms until that first search is over. Sometimes the search panel freezes until that search is complete.

Both of these issues do not occur when I'm using WSL-1 (with Ubuntu 18.04) or when using native windows environment.
