VS Code - search only the current active git branch?

When I use the search on VS Code, it searches all the git branches I have. Is there a way to only search the current active git branch?

I have the same situation.

The search pane shows the filename with commit number added:

Search pane

When I click on а search result, the title of opened tab contains the filename and the commit number also:

Code editor

I have noticed that searching a keyword from a code editor opened for comparing a file from different branches, searches in that branches also.

Searching for a keyword from a code editor when the opened file is from the HEAD, the search results are only from the HEAD, so the above results does not appear.

The VSCode search across file allows you to quickly search over all files in the currently opened folder, with Ctrl+Shift+F.

Only the file currently available in your workspace (which can be your Git cloned repository working tree) are searched.
