[MS] Dock the Code Search window in Visual Studio 2022 - devamazonaws.blogspot.com

Ever felt frustrated with the search window cluttering your workspace? The latest feature in Visual Studio 2022 gives you more control over the behavior of the Code and Feature Search window, making your search experience smoother and more efficient. Search docked below the editor. Some users have shared that the search window feels intrusive, interrupting your work by appearing mid-screen or on the wrong screen and taking up precious screen real estate. You now have the option to turn the search window into a tool window and dock it where you’d like.

Choose how you want your search window

Visual Studio now allows you to dock the search window and perform various tool window actions, like Solution Explorer and other tool windows. The window will continue to pop up by default, but you can now dock, pop out, or auto-hide the search window as a tool window. After launching Code Search (Ctrl+T or Ctrl+,) or Feature Search (Ctrl+Q), click the box icon with an arrow at the top right of the window. This icon transforms the search window into a versatile tool window, which you can then dock anywhere in your interface and organize your workspace as you like. Switch to a docking window button next to Hide or Show preview button If you try it out and decide this feature isn’t for you, you can go back to the popup version of the window by clicking on the box icon with a rectangle.

Streamlined previewing experience

We’ve also simplified the previewing experience within the search window. The interface has been simplified and cleaned up, providing a more user-friendly experience. A single button, marked with an eye icon, allows you to toggle the preview panel on and off. Hide or Show preview button Moreover, the preview panel's position will now automatically adjust based on the dimensions of the search window, ensuring a seamless and adaptable viewing experience.
