Visual Studio 2017 & 2019 highlight occurrences of selected word in scrollbar

Right now, the only way I know (without installing new extensions) is to select (double click) the word and hit ctrl-f (find). Scroll map should highlight all occurences (mine are orange)

This was a feature in VS15 and VS13.

Actually it was not.

It is a feature of the Productivity Power Tools extension. That extension is now just an installer for separate single feature extensions. I think you'll be wanting Match Margin.

For Visual Studio 2022 Match Margin is also available.

There's another extension which does exactly this, with options to customize colors and more. it called Word Highlight With Margin.
