Search & Replace exclude deleted files by default

[rosyatrandom]

Problem:

• Branch A has a file F that is not in branch B
• Switch from B to A with F open in an editor
• F is marked as 'deleted' by VS Code, and is in neither tracked or untracked files
• Perform a Search & Replace that matches text in F
• VS Code includes F in the list of matches
• Replacing all and saving (a 2-click action) saves F and adds it to untracked files

This means you can easily accidentally add F to branch B if you're not paying attention

Solution:

Search & Replace should exclude deleted files by default, so they do not appear in the list of matches

At the risk of not providing any new useful information: I just encountered this exact situation today. Adding a default or at least a setting to avoid this behavior would be helpful.
