(Fixed) Search functionality not working correctly

I’m having trouble with the search, it’s not returning any relevant results or maybe isn’t sorting correctly.

For example, I have a file called ‘06__Buttons’ and when I search ‘Buttons’ or ‘06__Buttons’ it shows as the 20th result when the word button isn’t in the title of any of the other results.

The sort is set to ‘Relevance’.

Can you share some screenshots? Difficult to understand when we can’t see anything. Thanks.

I’m having the same issue, since today search isn’t pulling up related items, even when searching name of files exactly it doesnt show in my list.

Believe this needs to be moved into the bug category.

Having the same issue. Searching for files via cmd+t is not returning the same kind of results it used to.

If I had to guess, I would think it’s prioritizing results inside the file over the filename - which is the opposite of what it used to do.

Yes, facing the same issue. Search is not working properly. @CommunityMember

Is not working correctly

Seems like the Figma search functionality is temporarily broken as it does not show the results based on the actual words typed in the search bar. anyone experiencing the same?

Hi all - we’re aware of this issue, and engineering is working on fixing this as I type.

I’ll send updates here as I receive them!

With the latest update my FILE search has broken.
If I open a new tab and search for name (doesn‘t matter if I respect low/capital characters) it just doesn‘t turn up anything useful. As you can see here, I have a file brand manual, and even if I almost write the whole phrase, it doesn‘t show the file in the results.

Absolutely a bug and a terrible one. My app is up-to-date and I tried restart with cache drop. Didn‘t fix. Mac OS.

BTW when I click see all results, it‘s supposed to be “ordered by relevance”.

You can see the “relevance” of the results for the word “screenshots”

It’s been broken for me for months already.
Basically what happens:

  • 80% of the times search returns correct results, but then immediately reloads and messes up completely
  • some of the times same search returns different results
  • most relevant results is often in the end of the list
  • searching for a file does not return suggested file even if the query matches title completely
    I’ve lost all hope, since it seems like not everyone is affected by this bug


Same for our team also. We are facing this issue more then a week now.

Update #2: this should now be fixed!

Can everyone here try again and see if you still run into issues? Please hard refresh the website and/or quit and restart the app first.

@Alexander_Zinchenko it sounds like you have feedback that is outside of this particular incident. I’d like to help you with that separately.

Would you mind filing your own topic that includes your points, plus any other details you think are relevant?

Thank you! It’s working fine now.

Great, working for me now too, thanks for the quick fix!
