Description
The search tool should allow to automatically open the clicked element rather than changing the object explorer focused element, like other Database
Development softwares.
Also, the search tool for some reason is quite slow, probably does not cache results, but does a query everytime, which makes frequent search annoying
A possible alternative of implementing this could be to let the user choose the desired action, so when enabling an hypotetical "Fast search" when clicking on an object, either a table or a procedure, it automatically opens a tab with the desired object to a default action or better to the most used (e.g. CREATE SCRIPT for procedures and functions, SELECT * FROM <> for tables etc.) .

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so first trace the search tool and its database-object click handling, then measure whether repeated searches issue new queries. Clarify the intended default action and caching behavior; done should cover the revised click flow and an acceptably responsive repeated search.
