Some literal in a log message may come from the code or it might be remapped in some config file outside the language the LSP is looking at, or an environment variable etc.. I just go back and forth with grep and IDE tools, both have different tradeoffs.



The thing is, so many people are weirdly obsessed with never using any other tools besides full-text search. As if using useful tools somehow makes them a lesser programmer or something :)
