I’ve just published a library containing Material Design icons as components in my design file and when I search for any of those components Figma does not find anything. What am I missing? Thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. Could you share your file link by inviting support-share@figma.com? Don’t worry, inviting us to view your file won’t impact your billing!

Hi all,

Thanks for flagging this issue! We shared this with our internal team but could you please share the file link with us to reproduce it on our end if possible? Please give edit access to support-share@figma.com, which won’t affect your billing! Alternatively, I can DM instead if you prefer, so please let me know.

Thanks for your help and patience.

Hi there!

Same issue on our end. Published library components are not searchable (all libraries selected)

Given components can be selected though by unfolding the libraries, so the publishing part was done right, only searching is not working.

+In the library itself, search is working - as local components.

We’re still struggling to reproduce this issue.

While searching the trash-03 icon doesn’t show up, but scrolling to the list is available. My icons set is in the same file

Same issue, also having issues with publishing libraries: it’s loading for too long and then it freezes. It’s very laggy and slow, too. I am using desktop application. I know that sometimes when the team is enrolling new features, it tends to get very laggy, but we need this issue fixed ASAP; it drastically slows everything down.

Hi there,

Thanks for flagging. We don’t have any updates on the component search issue. Regarding the performance issue, could you try the troubleshooting below?

  • Close any Figma tabs you’re not using
  • Browser : Force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window.
  • Desktop App: Force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it. If the issue persists, try clearing the cache.

I hope this clears the performance issue.

Thanks,
Toku

Same issue for me, restarting is not helping. Did anyone find a fix?

Any update? I’m having the same exact problem starting this morning.

You are not alone! This is definitely a new Figma bug. I tried to search for “check” in the Heroicons library and Figma couldn’t find anything. It was fine last week.

Not much help…but at least you are not crazy. As far as we know.

I’m seeing the same issue here; it started happening recently. I’ve been using the same MaterialDesign Icon library for years, and now, suddenly, I can’t find the icons I need. I notice that the search does not return results for some icons but works fine with others.

FYI: :exclamation:Unlinking and linking back the library helped. Now the search returns the results as before.

Same bug as you ! I have a library with a vast amount of icons connected to my file. It doesn’t find icons when I try to add them to my file. Drives me crazy when I want to replace an icon to another.
