Searching all and refactoring variables finding everything

[nistre]

Type: Bug

When trying to Search (Ctrl+Shift+F) I am only getting limited results that exist with my Explorer view, perhaps only the files currently open or recently opened are found. A similar issue occurs when refactoring where only a limited number of variable references in other files get refactored. I should note I am using VS Code in a monolithic repo, so if it is a matter of the size, it would be nice for the Search/Refactoring to give an inidication it is loading to find/rename all the instances.

VS Code version: Code 1.92.0 (b1c0a14de1414fcdaa400695b4db1c0799bc3124, 2024-07-31T23:26:45.634Z) OS version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.19045 Modes: Unsupported

If you click the 3 dots that I point to here, is the circled button toggled on?

[andreamah]

Also, is it finished loading when it only shows limited files? Is it still showing the loading animation?

[nistre]

The button is not toggled on. I do see (guessing I just didn't see it before) a loading icon on the Status Bar. Is that the loading animation you are referring to?

[andreamah]

Yes. It seems that the search is taking a long time on your project. Have you considered adding some paths to the search.excludes setting to make the search more optimized? I would assume that, since you're in a mono-repo, it's searching through many files, which may take a long time.

[nistre]

Gotcha, I'll refine the excludes the next time I need to refactor/search. I guess I didn't see the loading icon in the Status Bar to know it was still loading. v/r
