Does anyone else's search seem broken?

In the last day or two when I search for a component in my local file or a linked library, Figma’s search seems to be completely broken.

Ex: When searching for a ‘Home’ icon in a linked library, I used to type ‘home’ into the search bar, and the icon I was after appeared right at the top. Now when I attempt the same search, the icon I’m looking for is either not in the results at all, or sometimes at the bottom of the list.

My most inserted component is probably ‘button’ but when I searched for it today in the insert menu, it was nowhere to be found. I ended up copying an instance from somewhere else on the canvas and resetting it to default.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? It’s seriously hampering my workflow.

Thanks for pointing out this issue. We’ve seen this behavior in another thread. I’ll keep sharing your feedback with the team. Let me go ahead and merge it with the existing one.

Yes! I am facing the same issue. It’s annoying and critical. Their main feature is not working properly and it seems they’re not aware of it.
