About this plugin

When using DeepSeek Harness for session management, users often need to quickly search for specific files or content within the workspace, but the web GUI may lack efficient built-in search tools, making the process cumbersome. The dsh-workspace-search plugin addresses this by introducing VS Code-style keyword search functionality into DeepSeek Harness, offering a smoother and more intuitive search experience. Integrated as a Search tab in dsh-better-sidebar, it allows users to execute searches without leaving the interface.

Its core capabilities include cross-file keyword search that matches both file names and file content, with results grouped per file and line numbers displayed for easy location. The plugin also offers flexible search rules: users can use glob patterns (like *.py or temp?) to include or exclude files, supports regular expression queries and case toggles, and employs default exclusions for hidden files, .git, node_modules, etc., to keep results relevant. It honestly reports truncation on files, matches, and line length, ensuring transparency.

This plugin is particularly suitable for developers and frequent file manipulators in DeepSeek Harness, such as those debugging code, reviewing documentation, or analyzing data. By integrating into the sidebar, it enables users to click matches to open files directly in the built-in editor, creating a seamless search-to-edit workflow that significantly boosts efficiency and user experience, especially for those accustomed to VS Code's search conventions.
