We are aware of a bug relating to this, could you please upgrade to SQL Search 3.5.3. If the problem still persists we have a workaround until we are able to fix this:
Disconnect from the SQL Server in SSMS you want to search
Close and reopen SQL Search
Reconnect the SQL Server
Hopefully these steps will work in the meantime, apologies for the inconvenience caused.
I am having the same issue with SQL Search no longer working (all the boxes are greyed out). I've uninstalled SQL Search and reinstalled, still nothing works. I would really like to get it working again, so any advise would be appreciated.
I'm using SQL Search and SQL Prompt. The previous suggestions didn' t work for me. Opening and close the ' Tab History' before starting SQL Search did the trick for me. SSMS 18.9.2/SQL Search 3.5.5.2703
This "workaround" does work, however this is August 2022 and the bug was reported Dec 2020 (almost 2 years ago). Being a software engineer I understand the "priority" queue, but this one seems a little more significant than to be ignored for 2 years?
This just happened to me as well. The workaround does work, but I agree that it seems odd this hasn't been fixed several years on from the initial bug discovery.
