Sometimes, when I do a find and replace, the text I want to find or replace may be longer than the width of the UI component and before I click the replace button I'd like to review that bit of text.

Unfortunately, the find/replace UI has a fixed size, meaning I cannot resize it making reviewing the text cumbersome.

Compare the find/replace UI in Visual Studio Code

find_replace_vscode

With the same UI in full Visual Studio has a resize grip on the bottom left corner

If I need to find/replace something, I have to open Sublime Text. This tiny box is absurd.

Some UX investigation from #2220

I prefer the search bar style which spans across the editor width. The floating widget almost always hides something. So there is no point IMHO to not just take up the whole editor width and get a larger search field in return.

search in the settings editor:

Of course, in sublime you have a very nicely sized find-replace widget

which, of course, can be resized even taller.

In next Insider, you'll be able to resize the find widget horizontally.
