When you have alot of variables it would be nice to be able to search for specific things
How is it possible that this isn’t a feature yet? Are people not using variables enough? 😭
This feature is urgent! Please prioritize its delivery.
Currently, variables can be searched via the Design Panel, but only for selection – there is no way to edit them from there.
If implementing full editing functionality is too complex (which I don’t believe it is), please at least add an option to edit a variable directly from the filtered results in the Design Panel.
Otherwise, finding the variable I need to edit becomes nearly impossible.

It seems like a very simple feature that would bring a lot of value, and almost 2 years have passed since users started to ask for it. Please, Figma, prioritize it finally...
hi Figma!
I currently have 653 variables in 1 of my collections. I mean the figpals are great, love them, but this search functionality would really help my workflow! 🙏🏻

Request to add a search feature to the variables panel. I am using it quite extensively and getting to the right variables is a bit cumbersome at the moment. Since the naming of variables usually is built around a convention then a search feature here would be very effective.
See the top right corner of the screenshot below.
It would ideally have an autocomplete/live search functionality. This might already be in the works, but it wasn’t in the “coming soon” section of the Beta Features page. This isn’t really a feature anyway, but I thought I’d put it on the radar.
Thoughts?
Yes, exactly what I was thinking.

Search is crutial to the 5000 variables limit! My only solution is to :
Use Figma web for the browser’s “Find...” on the page.

is there an update on this?
I think this has been launched today. My variables window has a search field in the top right.
Hi there!
As many of you may have already noticed, yes! You can now search and filter variables!
Check out a quick video 📹 about it in this X post

Thank you so much for helping us improve Figma!
