Just one more wafer-thin feature to pop in Microsoft's swelling dev suite
Slightly ominously, one user said that they"would prefer if Visual Studio just follows how VS Code has implemented its search."
Visual Studio Code is the open-source elephant in the room, considerably less weighed down by the requirements of its sibling's legacy. VS Code regularly tops the charts of favored developer tools, with the full-fat Visual Studio trailing behind. As one user noted last month:"I will open VS only for the good old Winforms designer…"
So what to do? Keep on adding stuff to Search, of course! The new feature is intended to allow developers to edit code directly in the search window via the familiar editor experience . One can configure the code/results arrangement to be vertical or horizontal or simply turn off the code preview altogether.
The new search experience remains a preview and must be enabled via Tools > Options > Environment > Preview Features. Having taken the functionality for a spin, we can confirm it works at described and was positively handy when it came to dealing with massive solutions. However, we doubt it will do much to stop developers jumping ship for something a bit less bloated when presented with the opportunity.
