What's the difference between "Find Usages" and "Find All References" in Visual Studio (in particular, VS 2017)? They generate a different UI window so they seem like distinct features. When would they return a different set of results?

The Find All References command is available on the context (right-click) menu of the element you want to find references to. Or, if you are a keyboard user, press Shift + F12.
I propose that a better UI would be a setting called "Display 'Find References' Results as..." with choices that are something like ["Sidebar", "Inline, in Peek Window"] or whatever terminology makes sense and clearly distinguishes between the two different methods that the results can be shown as.
The most common methods used for finding anything on the webpage are find () and find_all (). However, there is a slight difference between these two, let’s discuss them in detail. The find method is used for finding out the first tag with the specified name or id and returning an object of type bs4.
The Find All References command is available on the context (right-click) menu of the element you want to find references to. Or, if you are a keyboard user, press Shift + F12. The results appear in a tool window named <element> references, where element is the name of the item you are searching for.
Find Usages is a Resharper feature (i.e. not built into Visual Studio directly).
