Vscode: Option to not wrap search back to start of file

[garyking]

Please add an option to not wrap the search back to the start of the file.

So if I hit "Find Next" multiple times and I reach the end of the document, then I hit it once more, I don't want to return to the first search result at the top of the file. I want it to stop moving forward instead.

Or at the very least, show a "refresh" icon when the search goes back to the top. I forget where I see this, but some popular apps have this.

Would you implement this feature please?
I also need it.

I also need this option.
To check something, I press F3 key ("Find Next") repeatedly in long file. That is, I pressed F3 key, and I said "This is OK, and next!", and I pressed F3 key, and I said... Uh oh, I was not looking at the scroll bar, and I backed to top of the file before I even knew it, and I checked those again wastefully.

It should stop at last keyword by option, or a message should be shown near the cursor because a message in the bottom of window may be not looked.

This feature is important to me too

[SeerGiuS96]

You should really consider about implement that feature guys

[GustavoASC]

@SeerGiuS96 @timrobinson33 @Ap0100L I've developed a setting on PR #92243 to solve this need. It is currently available on 1.45 Insiders, which will be released as the official VSCode version during this week.

There's a new setting 'editor.find.loop' which controls whether the search automatically restarts from the beginning (or the end) when no further matches can be found.

Hope it helps! :smile:
Happy coding!
