[CMD+ F] Can we please enable a filter in Search for hidden layers & items?

This would be handy if I want to mass-select and find hidden layers to show altogether.

Unless this is a technical limitation, I am shocked that this is not integrated as an option from the get-go.

      Would really like an option in the new command-F search functionality to Include Hidden Layers. When I’m trying to globally find something, or look for components or layers that might be hidden, it would be incredibly helpful for the search to display those hidden results as well. It could be an option, so that search can be fast, but there are times when a complete search would be incredibly helpful.

        Do you know if there were any updates on this feature? It would be really helpful for my library

          These layers are most likely not hidden for security or privacy reasons 😃
          I am curious why they do not appear in search results?

            As a design system maintainer I can’t live without the ability to search hidden layers.

            A lot of layers within components are only visible after a component property is set to on.

            Please add asap.

              Still no updates from figma on hidden layer searching? This is a pretty wild oversight to have made in the find layer feature right from the start, so I’m expecting some kind of update by now.
