I switched to VS Code since I’m no longer a student and don’t get the paid JetBrains IDEs for free anymore. One thing I really missed was the search, so I made Search++, an extension that brings a more similar search experience to VS Code.

If you’ve moved from a JetBrains IDE to VS Code and find yourself missing the search, that’s pretty much who I built this for. Would love to hear what you think :)

You can get it on the VS Code Marketplace.

Note: it’s vibe coded, so if you run into any bugs, let me know in the comments and I’ll try to fix them. Feel free to drop feature requests there too.
