I'm wondering if someone knows how to get the vscode integrated terminal find highlight to pop out more on the page.

Here's what mine looks like currently:

hard to see highlight

It is tough to make out the gray on black highlight color.

This answer explains how to change the highlight color of text NOT in the integrated terminal VSCode - Text highlight in "find" box

Figured it out!

Add this snippet to your JSON settings:

"workbench.colorCustomizations": {
    "terminal.selectionBackground": "#e26cffcb",
}

Now my terminal looks like: an easy to find highlight selection

Yahoo!!

For those who get here looking for how to change the find match colors in the terminal (the question and other answers are about the terminal selection color) here are the new colorCustomizations (see v1.66 re;ease notes: terminal find match colors

  "workbench.colorCustomizations": {

    "terminal.findMatchBackground": "#ff0000",
    "terminal.findMatchBorder": "#ff0000",
    "terminal.findMatchHighlightBackground": "#ff0000",
    "terminal.findMatchHighlightBorder": "#ff0000",
    "terminalOverviewRuler.findMatchForeground": "#ff0000"
  }
