I use vscode 1.43 and just use ctrl shift p
-> Insert snippet
and can search both the shortcut and description
When update to 1.54 it only search the shortcut
How to enable search the description of the snippet?
I have seen this recently too. It should work see this issue providing the functionality: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/31768
So I went ahead and filed an issue on it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/119261
You should go and upvote it.
UPDATE: This has been fixed in the Insiders Build as of today (March 22, 2021) and I have tested it. Should be in v1.55 due out in early April, 2021.
And the fix is in v1.55 released 03/31/2021.
