About search functionality in Visual Studio Code 1.54

Question

Moving into Visual Studio Code 1.54 from PHPStorm in Laravel project and reading manuals I did not find some features with search functionality:

When I search in file and last item is found is it possible to notify about Last item and maybe move to first found element in the file?
Has search functionality predefined dirs in scopes(or in some other way) like PHPStorm has

Thanks!

Do you want the go to next item functionality to wrap beyond the end of the file, for example? And how are you moving to the next item? — Mark

There is no built-in functionality to do that. You would have to find or make an extension. — Mark

Control-Shift-F does a workspace-wide search, and it shows 3 text boxes:

The text to search for
Files to include. This is where you type in directory paths (make sure they start with ./), like ./mydir or ./mydir/subdir/
Files to exclude. Again, you can specify directory paths.

After you start the search you will see a pane fill with all the matches. PHPStorm/IDEA works similarly.

BTW, Control-Shift-H does a workspace-wide search-and-replace, and it works similarly.
