Show installed extensions before networked search complete when searching extensions #207978

Open Legend-Master opened 6 months ago

Legend-Master commented 6 months ago

You currently need to wait for the networked search to complete for the locally installed extension to show up, what about searching and showing the installed ones on top before the networked search complete?

I know that you can use @installed in the search box to only search for installed extensions, but that's just not as easy and intuitive as to just type the name you want to search for

You can always type @installed rust to search only installed extensions

Yes I know, but it's not as easy and intuitive to just type in the name

I know it's a bit different, but the Windows (and also Android's) built-in search searches locally installed programs/files first and display them before the networked search, and I think it's pretty good and intuitive

And @installed is pretty hidden as well (it's not in the filter button drop down)

I think this is already requested. Can you please check our issues list - labeled extensions and find.

I have searched before, and searched again with https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues?q=is%3Aopen+label%3Aextensions+search but I can't find anything like this

I searched closed issues as well but there're way too many of them and I didn't find one like this
