Where does the bug appear (feature/product)?

Cursor IDE

Describe the Bug

Cmd+F search within the Claude Code extension conversation panel no longer returns any results in Cursor. The search bar opens, but typing a query finds no matches even when the text clearly exists in the conversation.

  • The same search works correctly in VS Code with the same Claude Code extension
  • This used to work in Cursor in the past — it appears to be a recent regression
  • Likely related to how Cursor handles webview search vs. VS Code’s native implementation

Steps to Reproduce

Cmd+F search within the Claude Code extension conversation panel no longer returns any results in Cursor. The search bar opens, but typing a query finds no matches even when the text clearly exists in the conversation.

The search bar opens but returns zero results for any query.

Expected Behavior

Cmd+F opens a search bar that highlights matching text within the Claude Code conversation panel, as it did previously.

Hey, this is a known limitation. Cmd+F / Ctrl+F doesn’t work in extension webview panels in Cursor, even though it works in VS Code. This affects any extension that uses a webview Claude Code, VsRocq, and others. It’s not specific to Claude Code.

We already have discussion and context in Webview Ctrl+F / Search Highlight Still Not Working (Extension Developer Report). I’m going to close this thread as a duplicate so we can keep everything in one place.

Honestly, there’s no timeline for a fix right now. Please subscribe to that thread, and we’ll post there as soon as we have an update.
