How to search for a text in a Node.js module via Visual Studio Code?.md
  1. Navigate to the Search tab (SHIFTCMDF).
  2. Enter the text to search in the top box.
  3. In the box named "filed to include", enter the path of the Node.js module that you would like to perform the search on. For example: ./node_modules/jsdom.
  4. On the right of the box named "files to exclude", click on the gear icon to disable excluding ignored files. That is, deactivate the "Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files" button.

That's it. The last step is frequently overlooked, so it is particularly important. If you do not deactivate it, then the search will be made only for files that are already open as a tab on your Visual Studio Code window, which would be misleading.
