Search in remote FS

[Blauschirm]

Hey, great extension. I have trouble getting the VSC search to work in the remote filesystem.
Is the problem on my end, or is a limitation of this extension or extensions like this in general?

Greetings,

It's the limitation of vscode. The remote fs support is a new feature. Give it some time.

Okay cool. Thanks for the fast response. Another reason to read every monthly VSC update log :D

Support for this appears to be landing in the September 2018 release:
microsoft/vscode#47058

I believe it's here. When I try to use QuickOpen or Search it tells me that there's not a SearchProvider. SearchProviders look like something that can go in a package. https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-extension-samples/blob/roblou/searchProviderExample/fsprovider-sample/src/searchProvider.ts

Any update on this?

Search remote files would be nice, but at present, the existence of a remote folder in the workspace blocks Find on your local files.

Would be great to have a fix.

+1 Search functionality is a must!

Any updates on this? Would love to have search functionality on my remote workspaces.

+1 Not only searching within files, but being able to use the command palette to open files that I haven't recently opened on my remote workspace would be incredible. It's the only thing keeping this extension from being perfect!

2022: Is this possible now?

I mean at this point, Microsoft has a decent remote development extension for VSCode: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/ssh
