Add searchbar to variable panel

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?

Hi Shawn_Willings,
Thank you for your suggestion. I’ll pass along to our team for consideration :slightly_smiling_face:

Agree 100%, I was just getting ready to request the same exact thing.

In our case, we’re building out a pretty intense theming structure, and it’s quite cumbersome to have to scroll the variables sidebar to find your components and associated variables every time.

Additionally, a shortcut command to collapse the component variable tree in the panel (like opt > l) in the Pages panel.

Thanks for the consideration.
