I’ve been using the new code search for a couple of months and I like it, but the UI is kind of antagonistic to how I typically want to search for things. For one, the new experience doesn’t actually load code onto the page, it does some sort of lazy loading thing as you scroll around, so ⌘F doesn’t work. I understand that there’s a custom search box to try to get around this but it’s pretty slow and fiddly and I don’t really want to use it. I also find the layout to be pretty annoying, because invariably there’s a symbol panel on the side that doesn’t work for the code I want to look at, and then it’s just there taking space. If I hit “t” to enter a file name and start typing the text field loses focus after a second and I need to click on it again. I know there are a couple of people on the team in this thread: I search a lot of code on GitHub and I feel like there’s a couple of tweaks that would greatly improve my experience. Like, I think I could even show you a video of all the places where the UI has gotten less usable for me. What would be the best way to get this feedback to you? I’ve posted stuff on the forum or whatever but it’s unclear to me if this is the intended way to raise issues.
