Command-P file search doesn't work over SSH

Bug Report
1

When first opening a new SSH project and attempting to search, nothing appears. After opening some files, it seems those get indexed and are searchable, but the behavior is still weird. For example searching the name of the folder does not highlight anything, only the name of the exact file.

I submitted a bug report for this a few months ago right after the macOS SSH updates but it never got any response so I wanted to bring it up again. I love cursor but I have still been unable to use SSH mode which is a significant amount of my work.

Just found a command line fix!! Been wishing I knew how to fix this for months, so this is awesome.

" Navigate to the said folder, and you will find the rg executable. Just run"

cp ./rg ./rgArm
