Description

Following up on what Adam had mentioned regarding overlap with the term "search"...

image

Currently, the context menu for profiles in the Data Sets tree shows a "Search Data Sets" option and a "Search Filtered Data Sets" option. However, these options perform two different actions:

  • "Search Data Sets": Prompts the user for a data set pattern, listing data sets with the given pattern
  • "Search Filtered Data Sets": Prompts the user for text to search for within data sets, showing the search results in a table view

VS Code uses the phrase "Find" to refer to locating/searching for text within a document. Should we do the same for consistency? If so, options such as "Find in Data Sets" or "Find in members" would clearly discern between searching for data sets and finding text within a data set.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Search the codebase for the strings 'Search Data Sets' and 'Search Filtered Data Sets' in menu contributions and update them to 'Find in Data Sets' and 'Find in members' respectively. Refer to VS Code's naming conventions for Find in Document.
