The global search function does not find search terms that must be in the project. Under SES I could simply do a global search and instantly find the definition of an object. I have tried setting "files to include" to *.*, nothing in files to exclude, etc. Specific case at hand is that I need to find the definition of BT_UUID_NUS_VAL in the Multi-NUS-Master example project, but I need to /learn how to "drive" the search function for future use.
Hi,
I belive you can open the project with the nRF Connect extension, so when you open the SDK through the Toolchain manager you select from the home page or side bar of the nRF Connect extension. 
Select the create or open existing option and the project you want to work with. Then go to definition (F12) should get you to the corrected file where it is defined.

You can use the "go to definition" feature to find the definition of any C, devicetree or Kconfig symbol. You can also search for all symbols by pressing Ctrl+T (works for any language), or Ctrl+Shift+O for the current file.
If you open the entire NCS folder in VS code then you should be able to use the "go to definition" function(hotkey F12)
Here I have opened the entire NCS folder and using the F12 works as expected.
It is also possible to add the SDK to a workspace, its called multi root workspaces.: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/multi-root-workspaces
Using a NCS project you can also use the command "nRF Connect: Add nRF Connect SDK to workspace" to make it pull in the right one as a workspace folder.
Some documentation here:https://nrfconnect.github.io/vscode-nrf-connect/connect/create_app.html
CRTL + F only searches in the current file you are in, use CTRL + SHIFT + F to search everything in your workspace.
