When you would want it

One search is faster when you remember what you want but not which menu, panel, or file contains it.

Where to find it

All Features → Universal search
Search (command:search.universal)

How to use it, step by step

Choose the title-bar search and type a name or goal.
Use the arrow keys and Enter to open a result.
Start with > for commands.
Ctrl+P, Ctrl+Shift+P, Ctrl+T, and Ctrl+Shift+F still open their focused searches.

Why this beats the usual way

Terminal, run button, live preview, collaboration, and a command palette that indexes everything: the pieces that make an editor a workbench are built in rather than assembled from extensions, and each one degrades honestly - telling you what is missing instead of failing mysteriously.
