# dbatools Extension for Visual Studio Code

We recently released a VS Code extension that lets you highlight terms and search dbatools.io, Microsoft Docs, Google, StackOverflow, DuckDuckGo, Technet or Thwack right from your code! It's called **search from code** and you can find it in the [Extension Marketplace](https://dbatools.io/ext).

## Options and Settings

By default, only Google, docs and dbatools are enabled but you can configure whichever providers you'd like in VS Code Settings.

At first, I was just messing around to see what it took to create a VS Code extension, but then I realized that I was actually using it and decided to share. If you use VS Code, give it a shot and let me know if you'd like any features or additional search providers!
