There is this feature in vs code where when you start typing in the file explorer when focused, it shows a small filter box at the top and highlights similar matches on files in the explorer.
After updating to the latest version of Vs Code (Version 1.62.3, October 2021) this feature doesn't seem to work at all for me. Has it been removed or there is a problem with my computer (or version of Vs Code)?
I have the same problem. Search in explore field not working. In same time I have "workbench.list.automaticKeyboardNavigation": true in workspace and user property.
VSCode Version: 1.67.2 (Universal)
The focus type and old red box feature are deprecated. You can check

In short. https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_70#_tree-find-control
CMD + F (mac) or CTRL + F (else) [while focused]
And for the default mode. highlight or filter. You can change that with:
"workbench.list.defaultFindMode": "highlight"
"workbench.list.defaultFindMode": "filter"

By default it's highlight
