Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

cursor:extension/ms-azuretools.vscode-docker seems to work!

I think the problem is that this extension isn’t in the VSIX Extension Registry (docs).

If you’re the maintainer, you can submit your extension to the registry by following the instructions in the documentation linked above. If you’re a user looking to install this extension, you can manually install the VSIX file by downloading it (try this tool) and using the ‘Install from VSIX’ option in Cursor.

Thanks for the reply. Installing via VSIX worked. But the search is still not working right.
