User reviews

Users greatly appreciate the Salesforce Advanced Code Searcher for its powerful code search and LWC editor features that enhance development productivity. However, the extension frequently breaks or becomes unusable following Salesforce platform updates, especially changes in setup page URLs or UI elements. Authorization and compatibility issues are commonly reported. The community often shares manual workarounds and fixes. Overall, while the extension is highly valued, users desire timely official updates to maintain compatibility with Salesforce's evolving environment.

Cons

The extension frequently breaks after Salesforce platform updates, especially related to changes in setup URLs or UI elements.
Issues with authorization errors due to redirect URI mismatches or Chrome blocking the page are common.
Not compatible out-of-the-box with newer Salesforce environment URLs such as 'salesforce-setup.com' or 'my.salesforce-setup.com' without user adjustments.
The extension UI disappears or stops working after certain Salesforce releases like Winter '25 or Spring '25.
Lack of automated updates or rapid fixes from the developer side for changing Salesforce platform requirements.
