Add dropdown for search input history

See original GitHub issue
  • VSCode Version: 1.10
  • OS Version: Windows 10

Very closely related to https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/18735

This is a feature request. The UX around find is the one place where VS Code is not quite perfect - which speaks volumes to how wonderful this editor is. Wonderful job.

Basically, it would be great if, inside the Find box you could hit the down arrow and get a dropdown of prior searches which you could navigate between to re-search.

Unbelievable, after several years a drop-down list is still not implemented. This ignorance is very offensive to me.

Is there any way to SEE the search history, other than hitting them one at a time with alt up/down? That was the main crux of the feature request - to be able to see searchHistory visually, and more easily find what I want to re-search.
