You have to invest time in your vim setup. There’s a whole lot built in that you need to learn, but you also need to customise it to your workflow.
In terms of searching through multiple files, I use Telescope with ripgrep and fzf. It’s an insanely slick workflow that allows me to jump around code faster than anything else I’ve used in my last 25 years of coding.

It took me an hour the first time I configured neovim and another hour when everything broke during the v0.8 update but the ability to navigate multiple files without touching my mouse make it worth the effort. I still have to use Visual Studio for {dayjob} but the Vim binding plugin makes it (almost) tolerable. The icing on the cake is when I need to SSH into a server to debug some PHP or JS on a testing server. I know I can always open Vim for a slightly degraded (compared to my Neovim setup) but overall solid editor at any time.

I've not used it but your use case made me wonder if there's a nice way to do it, as I regularly SSH into my NAS and RPi's, so I had a quick search.
