A few people here have mentioned they’re having this issue with local components. I’ve been having this issue and here’s what I’ve seen:
The issue shows up when searching Components in the Resources menu (Shift + I), or in the Instance Swap submenu when configuring a component
Oddly, the issue doesn’t show up when selecting the “Assets” tab in the left sidebar
I believe the problem is that the search results are backwards for the given query. For example, when working with an icon library, when I type “arrow left” into the search bar, I get results in the correct order in the Assets tab, but in the reverse order in the Resources > Components search and the Instance Swap search.
Again, this is just for searching through local components. The behavior I’m seeing may or may not be related to searching for library components—I haven’t confirmed that.
Thank you for your patience while we investigated this. Our engineering team deployed a fix for this now, can you please try refreshing your Figma files/restarting the app, and if you do continue to have any search issues, please do let us know.
Hi Yasuhiko. I do believe this was fixed at the time you posted this message. In the last few days it has started happening again. We did publish our icon assets and then update design files. The search fails to find any of those assets when we search them. Should this be a potential trigger?
Thanks for flagging! Could you share where this issue occurs? Is it happening only when swapping instances, or does it also occur during an asset search? If you could share a video recording of the issue, that would be really helpful.
