Aside from the fact that the "Search As You Type" option is incredibly
non-discoverable, what you're saying is that it's intentional that you need to
press a tri-chord keyboard shortcut followed by enter for contextual project
search with a highlighted word? That is incredibly clunky if you're mousing
around: If the user inputs the shortcut with their left hand with their right
on the mouse, they have to then move one of their hands a long way to press
enter.

If you're the kind of person that does lots of searching (not necessarily for
symbols, which could/would be covered by LSP) then that is a lot of extra
keystrokes. I can't think of any other editor that works this particular way.

That's not very intuitive, and looks and smells like a bug since it does not
respect your chosen search mode. The current functionality doesn't make sense
to me.
