This is what some people have started doing, and it works well as long as your bottleneck lives outside of the UI itself. But for some highly complex apps, web layout itself can become the bottleneck, and that's really hard to work around. VSCode is an absolute miracle in this regard, but it uses lots of dirty tricks under the hood to accomplish that.

Great, here is an off topic quick feedback to someone from VSCode, in what concerns search I always end up starting notepad++ Ctrl-Shif-F, get what I was searching for, meanwhile VSCode just keeps showing its increasing blue line without any results to show up.

Which is quite disappointing, given ripgrep's reputation in search performance.

Have you perhaps disabled ignore files accidentally? It’s the toggle in right of the the exclude field.

Seems to be enabled, oh well there are enough Github issues related to search performance anyway. Thanks for the help.

Up to you if you want to go through the rigamarole, though we do appreciate every issue^, even if we do end up closing it as a duplicate :)

^well, every issue that isn't completely void of information ;)
