Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. open search "cmd + shift + F"

What did you expect to happen?

The search in positron is in many ways very nice! And once I get used to them more I feel like I will become more efficient than before. But...

I miss the "Search these files" options that RStudio gave

Should I just use tests/testthat/*.R instead of "Package tests"? Yes. But there is something nice about the user-friendliness of the old way.

Were there any error messages in the output or Developer Tools console?

Nope
