  Hi Joe, Thank you for your post. Are you able to try downloading SQL Search from VS marketplace. It should then appear under the Tools menu.

  I just did that (prior to that it was installed as a part of SQL Toolbelt). It installed only in VS 2019 but not in VS 2022.
  
  And it doesn't work in VS 2019: when I selected it in Tools menu I get this:
  
  

  ---------------------------

  Microsoft Visual Studio

  ---------------------------

  The 'VSPackage' package did not load correctly.

  
  

  The problem may have been caused by a configuration change or by the installation of another extension. You can get more information by examining the file 'C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_bc8cc679\ActivityLog.xml'.

  
  

  Restarting Visual Studio could help resolve this issue.

  
  

  Continue to show this error message?

  ---------------------------

  Yes   No

  I do have a log file but don't want to post it here - is there a support email I can email it to?

  Hi Joe,
  
  I will create a support ticket and reach out to you via the ticket to ask for the log files.
