CLAUDE_CODE_SEARCH_HINTS_IN_LIST
Updated by Alex Sorokoletov
CLAUDE_CODE_SEARCH_HINTS_IN_LIST is a Claude Code environment variable: Controlled whether search hints appeared in list views. The feature was probably either made default or removed as the UI evolved. Removed between v2.1.87 and v2.1.88, so current releases ignore it. It is not in the official reference.
