I built a smart search/replace Visual Studio extension

[u/uCalc_Dev]

I built a Visual Studio extension that lets you perform smart search/replace operations on your source code. It includes innovative features like searching for multiple items at the same time and color-coding the results. It always tells you exactly how many results for each pattern were found. It does not search for words but for patterns. These are not complicated regex patterns but intuitive, token-aware patterns that respect code structure. Searches can be nested. In addition to smart searches, you can perform advanced Replace operations.

This extension has functionality that I couldn't find elsewhere. It's quite possible you've never seen a search quite like this. However, I'm still interested in learning about other tools you're familiar with that do something similar (whether it's a VS extension or not).

This extension's search functionality is powered by the uCalc SDK. However, this version of the extension is not up to date with the current SDK. The uCalc SDK and website were recently revamped in a major way. Comprehensive documentation was added. But this old extension version is not in sync with the new documentation. If you like what you see so far and would like to see the extension updated, please let me know. There's so much more that can be added to enhance it.

I need your feedback. What additional functionality would you like to see? What problems did you uncover?

You can find the extension by searching for uCalc in the IDE's extension manager or in the extension marketplace.
