User reviews

Users praise the Salesforce advanced Code Searcher for its powerful code search and in-browser LWC editor, enhancing development efficiency. However, many report that recent Salesforce updates, especially in Winter and Spring '25 releases, broke the extension, causing authorization errors, UI disappearance, and setup URL incompatibility. Several users have shared temporary fixes involving manual code adjustments. Despite these issues, the extension remains highly valued, with requests for updates to restore compatibility and add features like bracket indicators and save status notifications.

Pros

Provides advanced code searching capabilities within Salesforce.
Includes an in-browser LWC (Lightning Web Components) editor, which users find extremely helpful.
GraphQL support is cited as a bonus feature.
Highly rated and appreciated by users for enhancing Salesforce development workflow.

Cons

The extension stopped working after Salesforce's Winter '25 or Spring '25 releases due to changes in Salesforce's setup URL or page elements.
Users encounter redirect_uri_mismatch errors when authorizing the extension, complicating setup.
It doesn't support Salesforce environments where the setup URL changed to "salesforce-setup.com" or "my.salesforce-setup.com" without manual updates.
The extension UI disappeared or fails to load after recent Salesforce updates.
Some users face errors like "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'records')" when searching code, indicating potential bugs or incompatibilities.

Joe Smith I only found 1 line, any other tricks?

I found a fix for the URI Mismatch error. When you run into the page with the following error: Error: error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration 1. Press F12 2. Go to Console 3. Look for the following two lines 1st: chrome-extension://token1/callback.html 2nd: chrome-extension://token2/callback.html 4. copy the token2 string between "chrome-extension://" and "/callback.html" in the second line 5. replace the two instances of token1 in your url bar with token2 and press Enter

I made changes as per Alan comments but getting error while authorising the developer org by selecting Developer in Org Type. Error: error=redirect_uri_mismatch&error_description=redirect_uri%20must%20match%20configuration
