Description:
I would like to see Cursor’s search functionality enhanced to include file previews and a more sophisticated search interface similar to PyCharm’s implementation. Currently, Cursor’s search view is more basic and doesn’t provide the rich preview experience that PyCharm offers.
Current Behavior:
- Search results are displayed in a simple list format
- No file previews when selecting search results
- Limited context for search matches
- Basic search interface without advanced filtering options
Desired Behavior:
- File preview pane that shows the content of the selected search result
- Syntax highlighting in previews
- Ability to edit files directly from the search results
- More context lines around search matches
- Advanced filtering and search options
- Similar to PyCharm’s search interface which provides:
- Split view with search results on one side and file preview on the other
- Rich preview of file contents with proper syntax highlighting
- Quick navigation between matches
- Inline editing capabilities
System Information:
- OS: macOS 24.1.0
- Cursor Version: 0.46.8
Impact:
While this is not a blocking issue that prevents using Cursor, it would significantly improve the development workflow, especially when working with large codebases or when needing to quickly understand the context of search results.
Additional Context:
This feature would be particularly valuable for developers who frequently need to search through code and understand the context of their search results without having to open multiple files manually.
