Yes, I also wanted to use FigJam to consolidate the research findings and label them to make findings visual and easy to collaborate. However, not having text search is a blocker. So I need to switch to Miro instead.

Considering the tool is used for brainstorming and organizing large amounts of qualitative data, not being able to search is a huge blocker to the workflow. There is no easy way to lookup and reference notes quickly. The alternative is scanning and reading every single note.

I agree, itās a major roadblock to not have a basic text search given weāre consolidating a lot of qualitative data into our various Figjam files. Iāve tried installing community-created search plugins but they only appear as available plugins while editing a standard Figma file. Has anyone found a way to search for for text? The browser-based search does not even work.

I created a beautiful graph for prioritization with a bunch of sticky notes but cannot search by text. This makes it very difficult for me to track and look for certain notes to the point where I may not be able to use figjam for large-scale organization.
Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?

I have a similar use case. Looking to use Figjam as a way to synthesise my research note. I would love to collate and connect related points, but with a lot of data to manage itās hard not being able to search text.

100% need āCMD + Fā search function guys - itās a no brainer and makes coming back to a packed board VERY hard to stomach when you know you wrote a note or label somewhere, but are unable to find it. 
Yes I would also like to be able to search the figjam board
Iām using FigJam for research analysis for the first time. It has been great so far, but I totally agree that find/search is essential when working with large amounts of qualitative data. I use the Find and Replace plugin for normal Figma files, but this doesnāt work with FigJam.
I canāt use Figjam because of the absence of a search feature. I have to stick to Miro
Nothing new to add that hasnāt been said - we need this feature!!
You canāt even do standard browser text search.

My girlfriend and me are using FigJam as a way to structure our studies. Iām taking notes directly on it. When itās time to search a subject in there it becomes really difficult though. Adding the shortcut to search a word (CTRL + F) would help a lot.
Thank you

ICYMI - there is now a plugin for this called āfind and replaceā!!
Works like a charm

Just add a search like miro, it has the perfect search UX

When there are a bunch of text boxes in my figjam diagram, it would be nice to use ācommand + fā function to search a specific word in the diagram.
Would be amazing to have the basic Cmd+F feature to localize words on the whiteboard and being able to modify this word used in different places : all at once !
(or maybe make the existing Figma plug-in work with figjam ?)

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
I cannot search within a Figma jam file, it would be very useful to be able to search text -
Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
-
Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
(e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

I am absolutely loving this tool! Wish there was a way to do full text search. Is that possible?
Thanks!
Please @anon21722796 let us know when the find/replace feature is implemented in Figma. It is currently too hard to look through a million stickies.
