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.)

Zeplin’s “Jump to”:

Guys and Gals, I’ve been following this thread and waiting for a solution for a few weeks. Finally, I decided to build a plugin FrameSearch . Now here it is! A tool that helps you to search for any frame across all the pages by its name, jump and zoom into any frame you are looking for. Similar to but better than (hopefully) the search option we are missing in sketch

But with viewers like the development team, BA, PM, PO,… they can not use plugin. It’s really inconvenient.

This thread is pretty long, so I’m sorry in case somebody already mentioned this one… but I’ve just found this plugin Find in Page. It lets you search for layers and texts, you can even specify what layer type you’re searching for. Hope it helps someone.

I’ve created a premium search plugin to solve this problem that’s a little different from the others. It enables fast search across all of your Figma files and teams, and it won’t slow down on larger Figma files. Downside is that it takes ~10 minutes to set up and it’s paid.

Here’s the link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1030790287382118338/Supersearch

I’ve been using it for myself the last couple of weeks with CMD+F mapped to open it - it’s definitely a huge timesaver.

Apologies Rebecca, I ended up shutting it down as no one was using it consistently or paying and it’s quite expensive to run the servers for it.

Please do give this plugin FrameSearch a try! I’ve used it for almost a year now.

Also, binding the shortcut with cmd+F is super easy. Here is an official guide from Apple: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/create-keyboard-shortcuts-for-apps-mchlp2271/mac

Hope you enjoy the journey!

There should be an option to search only inside the selected frames in the “find panel”:

Lightshot
  • Selected frames
  • This Page
  • All Pages

The new Find function is great, but is unusable when you have millions of the same object duplicated on a page, but you only want to select instances inside a single Frame, or multiple selected Frames.
