It there a possibility to search and filter for Layer names in the layers/page list? If not implement this soon please.
I can do this in assets but why not in layers?

Sometimes it would be helpful to be able to search by name or layer type.
Something like this:
What you see at the beginning:
What you see when you type something in the search engine:

Not just sometimes!
This would be something useful all the time - great for finding when youâve been lazy and havenât named things properly, but also when there are hidden layers, stray layers and generally just for finding layers quickly

With options to filter by layer type as well

OMG yes please 
Almost daily I instinctively look for the searh input from the Layers-panel, and am low-key disappointed for a second, when itâs not there like in âAssetsâ 
Love your suggested design for this @Richard_Earney . Hopefully some dayâŚ

Definitely a useful feature, one that I used frequently in Sketch. Especially the ability to filter by type - slices get lost amongst all the other elements when their purpose is really quite different.

It will be great if we can search a frame in a project.
We can optimize template searching in our Design System

Looking for a way to quickly Find / Filter / Jump to a Layer or Frame as well.
why has this so few votes. this is badly needed and likely trivial to implement

I was kinda shocked when the âweb inspiredâ Figma had no built-in layer search/filtering.
Some of the things missing from Figma after so long still mystify me â guess I end up assuming it might be a technical limitation in their WebAssembly approach.
âŚbut then, the things that donât seem to get much support in the community make me wonder, how much the user base might be skewed by the free tier (and maybe so much focus on mobile apps)? 
Is it really possible a lot of users just arenât coming up against obstacles the Sketch community dealt with long agoâŚ?
How could basics like spell check, layer search, text search (+ replace), and often really slow plugin performance, still not get attention â are not enough users complaining?
Itâs a pity Sketch and XD arenât more competitive â it feels like Figma needs to feel the pressure a bit more, but their finding mismatch means they just continue to roll over the top of Sketch, which feels like a bit of a pity for the pace of improvement.
âŚbut maybe (probably) Iâm just being too impatient!

Agreed, filtering the layers panel would be super helpful and save a lot of time. Thanks

I also find it strange why we cannot have a simple layer search field. This seem such a basic feature to me, why would I have to install a plugin for that.
A plugin requires me to go to the Plugins menu, remember the name of the plugin, find the plugin, click it and only then Iâm at this point of typing something into a search field. This should be easier with the addition of a permanent search field to the layers list, shouldnât it?
I have the same feeling, itâs such an obvious feature, I contacted support when I didnât find it because I couldnât believe it can really miss search, and they suggested me to use plugin for that 
It kind of solves it but itâs pretty inconvenient to do it this way (open resources > go to plugins > find a plugin > set up a plugin > finally search VS just search in a layer panel).

This was a basic function in Sketch and I look for and remember itâs not there daily.
What if we (users) have the possibility to filtering layers!???
by component / child ( text / frames / autolayout what else???
And what if we can also Sort by?

Hey All, thanks for the feedback!
Weâll pass this onto our team for future consideration.
