This post demonstrates some of my favorite search techniques that work well in VSCode, including some basic RegEx (Regular Expressions) expressions that will help you find exactly what youโ€™re looking for in an unfamiliar code base. We will cover VSCode file type inclusions and exclusions, single-line multi-term searching, conditional searching, and more. RegEx can be intimidating to people who arenโ€™t used to using it, but luckily the RegEx expressions described in this post are very easy to remember and incredibly powerful.
