Why does visual studio code jump to the searched text right away?

Tell me, why in the Visual Studio Code editor, when you press CTRL + F, moving to the searched text occurs immediately in the typing process? how to disable this behaviour?
I will immediately explain why I need to disable this behavior:
Situation 1.
Suppose I am (i.e., the cursor is standing) in the middle of the text of a large program. I want to find the $database variable, so I press Ctrl + F and start typing the name. As soon as I typed $dat, it immediately jumps down to where I have the $dat variable - why do you ask? well, I continue typing, adding to $data - it again jumps somewhere else, where there is a $data variable. Next, I finally typed $database to the end and it turns out that this variable does not exist, and I am already where he found $data. Why is he chasing me through the code, if I have not yet dialed what I want to find?
Situation 2.
Still in the middle of the code. I want to know if I have the $data variable below in the text (and, for example, it is at the beginning of the code, but it is not further down the text). I press Ctrl + F, I type $data and I find myself at the beginning of the code. Asking why? I needed to find out if there is a variable further in the code.
Situation 3.
Still in the middle of the code. The $data variable exists before and after where the cursor is. But I need to find the previous location where $data is to find out what changes its value to where I am. I press Ctrl + F and type $data and I get to the bottom of the code, where there is $data, but I needed to find the previous place, not the next one.

The extension from the Reference Search View box can help you - it seems to be the most suitable for your tasks. Shows all search results in a sidebar that you can easily navigate through.
