I’m trying to search through a very large file, and each time I enter 1 character of the search string, Sublime seizes up while it finds all the millions of results in the file for that one character. How can I make it only initiate the search routine once I have finished entering my search string?
Disable the find routine updating on each character

I find that turning off Word Wrap, Plain Text syntax and using a regex is much faster when searching big files.

I don’t know.
But a work around would be to ender a leading nonsense string right before the search string
and remove it once you have finished typing the search string:
1.)
xxxMySearchstringhere
2.)
MySearchstringhere
3.)
Found!
Or better:
- jump to end of file
- disable Wrap around search
- open Find and type your search term
- enable Wrap again
Found!
