Can't search for component of added library

Same issue, also having issues with publishing libraries: it’s loading for too long and then it freezes. It’s very laggy and slow, too. I am using desktop application. I know that sometimes when the team is enrolling new features, it tends to get very laggy, but we need this issue fixed ASAP; it drastically slows everything down.

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. We don’t have any updates on the component search issue. Regarding the performance issue, could you try the troubleshooting below?

• Close any Figma tabs you’re not using
• Browser : Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.
• Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache.

I hope this clears the performance issue.

Thanks,
Toku

Same issue for me, restarting is not helping. Did anyone find a fix?

Any update? I’m having the same exact problem starting this morning.

You are not alone! This is definitely a new Figma bug. I tried to search for “check” in the Heroicons library and Figma couldn’t find anything. It was fine last week.

Not much help…but at least you are not crazy. As far as we know.

I’m seeing the same issue here; it started happening recently. I’ve been using the same MaterialDesign Icon library for years, and now, suddenly, I can’t find the icons I need. I notice that the search does not return results for some icons but works fine with others.

FYI: ❗Unlinking and linking back the library helped. Now the search returns the results as before.

Same bug as you ! I have a library with a vast amount of icons connected to my file. It doesn’t find icons when I try to add them to my file. Drives me crazy when I want to replace an icon to another.

Hey @Clement9, thank you for reaching out!

I wasn’t able to replicate this on my end. Is this happening in the browser, the desktop app or both?
Can you please try the the following suggestion a community member has suggested?
