Add in-conversation search to the VS Code extension (find within the active transcript)
Problem
There's no way to search within the current conversation in the VS Code extension. ⌘F doesn't work in the Claude panel, and Session history search only covers past conversations — not the one you're actively in. For a long-running conversation, finding "where did we discuss X" means scrolling by hand.
Current workaround
Searching the raw transcript JSONL on disk directly, e.g.:
rg -i "search term" ~/.claude/projects/<project-slug>/<session-uuid>.jsonl
That's complete, but it's a far cry from a find box in the UI.
Request
A find-in-conversation affordance in the panel — either ⌘F support inside the transcript webview, or a dedicated search box / command-palette entry (Claude Code: Search Conversation) that matches across the whole conversation (including messages scrolled out of view or virtualized).
Environment
- Claude Code VS Code extension (native extension, not terminal CLI)
- macOS
