I have lost the search bar that was there at the top when I open my settings.json file which let me search settings with ease. Now I need to search using Ctrl F

Does anyone know how can I restore that search bar or what to change?

Here is the screenshot.

Today I was too having this issue and after some research, it seems like the fuzzy search was deprecated with the split editor. I'm sad...

If you want the "old" settings back, for now, you will have to revert to the 1.58.2 version. Here's the comment that has a link to the files: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/125952#issuecomment-894709624

You will also have to disable auto-updates, which can only be done by (ironically) adding these lines to the settings.json

{
  "update.enableWindowsBackgroundUpdates": false,
  "update.mode": "manual"
}
