Getting Search View Results
1. VS Code has a search view, and it can have existing search results. 2. To get the current search results, you can use the VS Code command `search.action.getSearchResults`. 3. Run that command via the `copilot_runVscodeCommand` tool. Make sure to pass the `skipCheck` argument as true to avoid checking if the command exists, as we know it does.
