  4. Allow users to select to use a dark theme for SQL Search, ideally this would pick up from their settings (if on Windows at least)

  5. I need a way to move between occurrences of a SQL Search search result (either keyboard shortcut or button/icon).
    Lets say I have a bunch of long stored procedures and the name of a certain table occurs a few times within each of those procedures. I use SQL Search to search for the name of that table.
    Right now, each occurrence of the that table name will be highlighted in the code, but I have to manually scroll through the code to find the highlighted occurrences. This can become a pain if I have to scroll both horizontally and vertically.

  6. Include the possibility to search inside table extended properties, for example if there's a description I would like to be able to find the text inside the description

  7. Currently if I search for x y (x,space,y), it will return all instances of x or y.
    If I make it "x y" it finds nothing. There are many times when I want to find the coexistence of two very common terms, so having the latter search (or a variation) return results would be helpful.

  8. Similar to Select Object in explorer. It would select the object and either execute it or create the Execute to New Query in Editor Window. Like the two options available by right clicking the stored procedure from the object explorer.

  10. I would like to have the ability to turn off the "auto search" function. Whenever I enter a search phrase, I feel "rushed" to get it entered before the auto-search kicks in. Many times it starts finding results as I'm typing and then does not search again when I complete my typing. At the point I have to force a re-index.

    It would be helpful to be able to turn that off and then pressing Enter or using a separate search button would initiate the search.

  11. When you are looking at table in the bottom panel, it would be nice if you changed the columns and rows ever so slightly. Instead of making the single dash continuous but made the two horizontal lines continuous instead, then, when you copy and paste this into a Markdown file, it will format it properly

    Example

    from...

    [dbo].[foo]

    Column | Datatype | Computed value

    Id | int |

    ...

    to...

    [dbo].[foo]

    Column | Datatype | Computed value
    ----------------------|-------------------|-------
    Id | int |

    ...

  14. SQLSmash (http://www.sqlsmash.com) has a wonderful "Go To Object" tool that I use regularly. It helps me navigate to SQL objects quickly without having to point and click. All I have to do is type CTRL+, and start typing the name of the object. It will filter the names based on what I type, and when I click enter it will select the object in Object Explorer.

    It is much better at finding tables, views, & stored procs on the fly than SQL Search. It is especially helpful when working in multiple databases simultaneously. I had previously posted this…

  17. I love the colored tabs but to better know which server/database I'm working with I'd like to see the server and its children in the Object Explorer with the same colored background to match it's tabs. This would help to visually to associate what server I'm working with when I have a lot of servers and databases open.
