I cant find the item using 'ctr+f'.

However, I can't find the item using 'ctrl+f' if item is not shown in workspace.

@deoknyong The find tool highlights actual text on the page, but the underlying grid control virtualizes the data, so only displayed rows are searchable. It is possible to provide a setting that increases the virtualization threshold of the grid control, but the practical limit is around 200 rows. More information is available here.

@deoknyong There is a webview setting for disabling the find tool altogether. Not sure if it is better to allow searching of visible rows (with the false expectation that you can search the whole file), or to remove the find tool entirely. I don't think there is a way to intercept find tool events and have the extension search the underlying data.

I think it would be better to disable the built-in find in that case. Would it be feasible to implement a custom find that could search the virtual document and seek to result?

I download this extension for viewing large data. It becomes useless if you can't use the search feature tbh. do you really want to scroll all the way and burns your eyes out reading each line? I don't think so

This is extermely frustrating behaviour. Does anyone know an altnerative plugin for VScode that allows Ctrl+F of the whole file not just the visible rows?
