You might want to choose Microsoft Code from its Visual Studio family
of software, or, if you're ready for a deep dive, you might try using
vim. Personally I am using both.

So do Notepad++, EditPlus (not free but low cost, Windows only, and very
good), and I'm sure many others that are much simpler than Visual Studio
Code, for example.

Every now and then I pop up and suggest people look at Eric. Odd name
for an editor? Well, it continues the long pun history in the Python
world (Eric Idle... get it?). It has search history, among many other
things, I think once it was considered to be sort of IDLE++, but it's
grown to a lot more than that. Not saying Eric is better-than-XYZ-IDE,
but it is a cool project...

Does anything from the Visual Studio family of software have a pull down menu that lists previous searches so that I don’t have to enter them every time?

Visual Studio search box has a dropdown list that's shown when you press
the down arrow key.
