Can you explain the issue some more?

What are you searching? Is your workspace very large?

[csavtchenko]

I have been noticing this as well - using Ctrl + P - seems to do a deeper search than a simple file fuzzy search. Perhaps I have a bad cache or something? I googled a bit but couldn't come up with a solution.

This is for C++ files on a fairly large code base.

[csavtchenko]

I'll be happy to provide an info you need, except the code base :)

[roblourens]

ctrl+p should just be searching files, unless you have search.quickOpen.includeSymbols enabled. There is no cache. @csavtchenko are you on 1.29?

[csavtchenko]

Okay that's good to know - definitely not enabled - definitely very slow. FZF is same speed as before so I'm slightly hesitant that it could be a HW issue.

[roblourens]

What is FZF? Can you explain the problem some more? Are you on 1.29? Is it slower than 1.28 or just slow in general?

[csavtchenko]

FZF is a linux tool for fuzzy search. It's very fast - I use it when I'm using vim instead of visual studio code.

Typically, I press Ctrl + P, I start typing, files immediately appear as the fuzzy search narrows. However, now I press Ctrl + P I start typing - I see a "progress toolbar" then they appear. This seemed to happen on the newest update I got from the Ubuntu PPA (1.28.2). C/C++ module is 0.20.1

Sometimes the toolbar can last for a second or more. I realize that it seems short, but at the speed I need to look up different source files it has an observable effect on my speed. I'm comparing this to prior releases where this was instant.

[roblourens]

1.29 just went out, can you try upgrading to that? I think it should be available for ubuntu now?

[csavtchenko]

Thank you - fixed in 1.29

[roblourens]

Great, thanks.

@scosmaa more details would be great

[scosmaa]

Sure, I'm searching using the search functionality (the project size is normal, not so big not considering node_modules folder and .history folder plugin).

I do search and it's slower than days ago using 1.28 version.

I'll do more research, I want to test if the antimalware service is responsible

[scosmaa]

Probably it was my antimalware service, I no longer have the problem, thank you!
