Conversation
Add a 'Search performance' subsection to the 'Search across files' section in codebasics.md explaining that excessive background `rg` processes are caused by the 'Use Exclude Settings and Ignore Files' toggle being disabled. Includes four remediation steps: checking the toggle, verifying search.useIgnoreFiles, adding explicit search.exclude patterns, and disabling search.followSymlinks for worktree/symlink-heavy workspaces. Also adds a Common question entry linking to the new section. Closes microsoft#9950 Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>
