Hi,
    does anybody know how to change the size of this dialogo box?

     It's really too small and I couldn't find where to change its size.
      Thanks in advance.

Best you can do is to increase the size of fonts in the application. That may force that dialog box to be larger... but no guarantees....

No, already tried, it didn't work. 🙁

Figured that was likely... another alternative, but not exactly desirable... reduce the resolution you are using on that monitor...

I tried another approach. I've imported a previous settings and the window is normal again. Then, I imported the black theme and it keeps, more or less, its size. Actually it depends of your font size, in order to see the dialog you need to increase too much your font size (and I don't like it). I was expecting to be able to change the text editor size without affecting the find dialog window but it seems impossible.
Thanks for your help.

Yeah, there are some things MS could really do a LOT better...

Here's the fix I used. Seems to work well.

Use your mouse? There's a symbol in the bottom left hand corner of it so you can increase the size:

So you can do:

Yes, you can increase the size, but only in one direction. Fonts keep small for my eyes 🙂

Hmm, perhaps the issue isn't SSMS, but that you need to scaling size on your display? I imagine that if you're struggling with the dialogue windows in SSMS you are in other applications too?

I could fix the issue, changing the font size of SSMS. Maybe not the best solution but it worked.
