Are you able to apply a search function under the selection color of a file. Below is an example where we have like areound 50+ colors in a frame/mockup and no way to search fast the color/s you want to replace or update.
Is there any traction on any of these features to search or manage variables easier?
I’ve been hoping this feature would have made it in after beta.

Push. Please add a search. Should be a basic feature for such a powerful tool.

By the end of the year, we will have at least 2,000 variables multiplied by at least four modes. So 8,000 values. Finally make sure that this tool becomes usable.
It honestly blows my mind that this isn’t a feature yet, my use case is simple: I need to change the variable value on a specific token variable I’m using on a component, currently there seems to be no way to alter that variable in the fill options menu, so I make note of the variable and go to find it in the variables menu to update the color.
The problem I’m experiencing is when I go to find this variable in the variables menu there is no search option! So I’m forced to scroll our list of hundreds of token variables until I find the variable I’m looking for. Adding a simple search into the variables menu would alleviate this problem.

I wanted to share a suggestion regarding the accessibility of variables when working with files that contain multiple variables. Currently, when we need to locate a specific variable like “Switch,” we have to manually scroll through the entire list of variables, which can be time-consuming and inefficient.
To improve this process, I suggest adding a search option within the file interface. This feature would allow users to quickly and easily find the specific variable they are looking for, streamlining the workflow and enhancing productivity.
I believe this improvement would be beneficial to many users and help us work more efficiently.
And and I would appreciate your feedback on this suggestion.

How is it possible that this isn’t a feature yet? Are people not using variables enough?
