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

You should really consider about implement that feature guys

@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! 😄
Happy coding!

This feature is a great help, but it's still lacking the power of the Visual Studio search behavior: When you start a forward search in the middle of the file, it will keep searching to the end of the file, then it will wrap around starting at the top of the file and it will keep searching until it reaches the point where it started the search. The currently implemented feature in VS Code is only good if I know whether my search target is above or below my current line so I can direct the search accordingly.
