I recently installed VSCode on a new machine, but found something odd about highlighted text in the "find" box.

How would one change the highlight color in this field in VS Code?

  • you have to look in the theme colors and customize them in your settings, or ask the theme designer to update them to make it readable – rioV8 May 30 '21 at 20:58

Oddly, it is just

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
  "selection.background": "#ff0000",
}

Stumbled on it at theme base colors:

selection.background: Background color of text selections in the workbench (for input fields or text areas, does not apply to selections within the editor and the terminal).
