Describe the improvement that you'd like
When using find, the utility should scan commit SHAs for unloaded commits (ones that are not currently in the range of loaded commits in the list)

Additional context (optional)
I need to find specific SHAs for reviews of specific code changes that introduce issues to the codebase I work on. These will often be commits well over a year old. When I use the find utility to look for a specific SHA I have to scroll back sometimes thousands of commits even on a specific branch to find what I need - its not feasable for me to use this app for this fairly significant part of my job without this function.

Hi @Validifyed,

This feature request is a duplicate of #245 & #358, please read my previous comments here and here respectively for more information on the current behaviour, why this capability isn't currently available in Git Graph, and a work-around you can do in the meantime.

Where I mention the potential option to "allow the user to specify a commit id instead of a branch in the Branches dropdown" - this is definitely coming soon, and seems to be the best solution (it avoids making the extension slower to load).

I'll close this improvement as it is a duplicate.
