Visual Studio Code Advanced Search Wildcard in Files to Include - visual-studio-code

Question

I am trying to find a line of code to all my files with a specific file name criteria. I am trying to take advantage the Advanced Search of the Visual Studio Code by putting a wildcard in the files to include field of the search. But I wasn't able to achieve that. I tried to use asterisk (*) symbol, but I think the Visual Studio Code does not accept that. So I tried to search the internet and found this solution by using the .+?; however, it still does nothing.
Search Keyword: ICustomMatColumn
files to include: (wildcard)viewmodel.ts

Answer 1

Apparently, the Visual Studio Code supports glob syntax which is really great. To achieve the desired result in the question you just need to do this format
./**/*< partialFileName >
Example
Folder Structure:
|-- app
|-- users
|-- list.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- cars
|-- list.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- configurator.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- app.component.ts|html|css
|-- app.module.ts
|-- user.service.ts
|-- car.service.ts
|-- index.html
|-- main.ts
|-- style.css
Let's Assume that every ViewModel file has this word/code/string ICustomMatColumn
Search Keyword: ICustomMatColumn
Files to Include: ./**/*ViewModel.ts
Search Result:
|-- app
|-- users
|-- list.ts|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|viewmodel
|-- cars
|-- list.ts|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|viewmodel
|-- configurator.ts|viewmodel
It will strictly include only the files with the partialFileName that you entered in the files to include field

Answer 2

So I found that the asterisk (*) works when you put in the files to include field the higher level folder name as the criteria
The format will be higherLevelFolderName*
Example:
Folder Structure:
|-- app
|-- users
|-- list.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- cars
|-- list.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- configurator.ts|html|css|viewmodel
|-- app.component.ts|html|css
|-- app.module.ts
|-- user.service.ts
|-- car.service.ts
|-- index.html
|-- main.ts
|-- style.css
Let's Assume that every ViewModel file has this word/code/string ICustomMatColumn
Search Keyword: ICustomMatColumn
Files to Include: app*
Search Result:
|-- app
|-- users
|-- list.ts|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|viewmodel
|-- cars
|-- list.ts|viewmodel
|-- form.ts|viewmodel
|-- configurator.ts|viewmodel
But the CONS of this solution is in case your search criteria is present in the other file, it will be included to the search result.
