I'm trying to search for specific word strings or text in VSCode by using double quotes. I trying to find for example occurrences of "Video" without seeing "video library" occurrences. Any suggestions?

You see in the screesnshot it matches exactly 'video' keyword

You have to toggle (enable) both "Match Case" and "Match Whole Word".

"Match Whole Word" will only search for exact matches and by matching case, you should be achieve your goal.
