Are there any plans for an AI Search function for Copilot?

Question

Body

Hi all,

I'm wondering if a search feature has ever been discussed for Copilot - specifically something like where a dev can search for a particular coding pattern without the invocation of the ancient magics (also know as regex), instead using natural language to describe the case. For example, 'Show me every file in this repo that has multiple this.store.select statements in one place'. A feature like this would be awesome, and a huge boon to larger refactor efforts on older projects.
