harish chaudhary (ID: 000000cb1e6fdb74) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/26/2016 Nice extension to search for TFS items. Worked for me :) Few corrections required:- 1. Saved URL should be shown in the option window or somewhere so that if option window is opened again user can see which TFS server is in use. 2. Once the TFS URL is saved and the save button is clicked again it saves the blank URL and TFS search does not work.
