Should navto search opening projects like find all refs to give better info about world or just existing open projects

Yes VS Code now searches all open projects by default (on TS 3.9+). My understand is that this should only search the already opened project and not trigger a new project loads. You can disable this behavior with typescript.workspaceSymbols.scope .

I made this the default because I felt searching all projects made the most sense for the way we describe go to symbol in workspace. It is useful in the VS Code codebase for example because we usually want search results from both our extensions and our core codebase.

@amcasey VS Code cannot stream in results. We have to return them all in a single response
