1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this

There is no way to search for a page/frame in a given project. A user should be able to quickly jump to an arbitrary page/frame by typing the page/frame name in a search box. Introducing a “Jump to…” feature similar to Zeplin’s CMD+J would solve this problem.

2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

I was looking for this thread~
This feature would be really helpful, especially to quickly navigate between a large amount of components files:

However, my first assumption would be to press CMD+K because of Slack, Discord, Telegram, etc. usage.

I often use this plugin to solve page search problems and it’s great! 🤝

Often I would like to search the contents of a Figma page to find a certain frame or layer, like I would in Sketch (among others). That’s not possible in Figma. It should be. Right now you can only search through your assets, as far as I’m aware.

This seems like a relatively simple feature to add. Please do so!

Using the plugin can solve the problem but it is not a convenient way.

  • Using Plugin: take some steps to open the plugin and wait for it loading
  • Using directly on Figma: easier if we have a search box next to the Pages title, we can just click and enter the page. name

It would be better if we have individual search for the projects.

All of our engineers have view-only accounts which makes the navigation plugins useless.

Yep, ours too. That’s why we’ve built Figma Search browser extension. Give this link to your developers, maybe they will find it useful:

github.com/igoradamenko/figma-search-extension

Works with Firefox, Chrome and any Chromium-based browser (Edge, Opera, etc.)

Yoo this is cool, you should post it in the #plugin-api:show-and-tell category.

    After some time use, our design’s page/layer/fame are so many and so a mess, and I can’t use any search function to search/filter anyone of them. The only way I can do is find them by my eye…

Can you add a search function for page/layer/frame?

That will help our a lot, and I think most of Figma users will like to see it.

By the way, Sketch has this function to find some type of layers.1

  1. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
    (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

For me the Sketch way is really the best one, combined with a filter by type is such elegant.
I really miss… every day, hummm… no every hour…
