Description
First, thanks for this wonderful extension, globally works great.
The request is about .ipynb notebooks.
Currently, I can use / to search a string inside a cell, it works well as expected, the results rotate in that cell.
Now, I would like to trigger / on a notebook when a cell is not in edition, to search through the whole notebook.
I would expect n/N to be able to navigate through all the cells.
I know I can use the vscode "find" option for that, but I would prefer stick to a single search, which is the VSCodeVim one (/).

Research direction
Start at the / search entry point and trace how search is limited to the active cell when working with .ipynb notebooks. Verify behavior when a cell is not being edited, then confirm that n and N navigate matches across all cells and that the existing in-cell search remains unchanged.
