You have to enter characters in the exact order as the file name, fuzzy search almost never work.

If I got a file named: “あいう”:

  • ✅ Search “あ”, “あい”, or “あいう” shows the file.
  • ❌ Search “い”, “う”, or “いう” doesn’t, not even in “see all results” page.

I have to use Raycast’s Figma search plugin to get this simple task done.

 

Search from the first character of the file name.

 

Search from the middle of the file name.
