Hi Figma Team,
I’d like to request a feature enhancement for search in Figma: the ability to search within a specific selected frame.
Currently, search appears to work across either the current page or all pages, but there is no option to limit search results to a particular frame. This creates friction when working on large files or dense pages with many frames.
The main issues are:
- Searching takes unnecessary time
When I only need to find one text layer or element inside a specific frame, Figma searches the entire page. This makes finding simple items slower than it needs to be, especially in large design files. - Find and replace cannot be scoped to a frame
When I want to find and replace text only inside one specific frame, I’m unable to do so safely. Since the search applies more broadly, there’s a risk of changing text elements outside the intended frame.
A useful improvement would be to add a search scope option such as:
Search in:
Current selection / Selected frame / Current page / All pages
This would make search and find/replace much faster, safer, and more precise for designers working with large pages, dashboards, presentations, or multiple layout variations.
Thank you for considering this request.
Best regards,
Wajahat
