Can I automate codebase-wide pattern matching analysis in VS Code?▼

Yes, you can automate codebase-wide pattern matching analysis by retrieving the active search results from the VS Code search panel, allowing AI agents to process findings without manual copy-pasting.

What is the process for capturing global search findings from the VS Code search view?▼

Capturing global search findings involves triggering an internal VS Code search API command to fetch active results directly from the search view, returning the data for immediate processing.

Do I need a specific tool to access internal VS Code search commands?▼

Yes, accessing internal VS Code search commands requires the copilot_runVscodeCommand tool to invoke the search.action.getSearchResults command with skipCheck enabled.

Why can't I directly access the current state of my VS Code search results?▼
