Currently Visio Code is supporting only .NET regular expressions, can we have an option to change this?
Can we switch to PCRE Regex Engine?

VS Code doesn't use .NET regular expressions.
ripgrep (compatible with PCRE2) is already used for Find in files functionality (for not open editors) and JS engine used only for open editors.

Bringing ripgrep to replace JS engine requires separate investigation #98076 (comment)
