I frequently use text search to identify something which I want to edit.

Unfortunately the search result does not update after I changed a file.

Would be create if the Search view updates the search result based on the edited files.

Are you talking about updating after save or after typing? Both can become expensive.

Personally I like that the search result is static and I can refresh on demand.

Note that if we'd start to refresh the view, we would also have to refresh it when files are added or changed, e.g. when fetching from Git.

Lets mark this as wontfix for now, I anyway to not have the time to work on this at the moment.

The search already updates itself, if you delete the line that contains the result and after. 

So not updating the search view if the entry has changed is inconsistent.

Handling on delete is a byproduct of the file/marker itself being removed, isn't it?

Maybe, still inconsistent behaviour at the moment
