Improved Search Functionality for Relative Paths in VS Code #224681

Open myagizmaktav opened 3 months ago

myagizmaktav commented 3 months ago

When searching for files in VS Code, the search functionality should include the ability to recognize and prioritize relative paths, even when a / character is not included.

Example:

In the top screenshot, when I enter the relative path, the search returns the correct file. However, as shown in the second screenshot, if I omit the / character, the search doesn't provide the desired file.

Desired Feature:

When searching for a file, VS Code's search should automatically include and prioritize relative paths, even if the user does not explicitly type the / character. This would help in quickly locating files, such as definitionPrinterDefinitions/index.ts, without having to include the / character.

Screenshots:

  1. Correct Search Result with /: image

  2. Incorrect Search Result without /: image

I take it back. This isn't related to that.
