Regex Syntax Highlighting for Buffer Search - (Like Atom's Find / Replace Bar)

[div-tag]

Atom had an awesome search bar that had syntax highlighting for regex mode.
This would be an awesome feature for Zed, there are very few (if any) other editors I know of that have this.
It does not matter much for a short regex, but it is incredibly helpful for long complex regex strings.

I personally still open atom up quite often just for that feature, even though I have switched to VSCode and now Zed for everything else.

I might try to poke around and figure out how to do this myself, but I am not very familiar with Rust or the Zed codebase - so I would be in over my head quite a bit!
Could anyone direct me to where the code for the buffer search located? I have tried looking in the /crates folder, and some of files in the /crates/editor folder, but I don't see anything that seems to be related to it...

It is in the buffer_search.rs 🙂

I have created a PR to add this, as seemed pretty small to do: #25005

Awsome, thank you!!

I will go take a look at the code now and maybe learn something new!
