I have 100’s of layers and frames, and when I turn a frame off it’s lost in a long list of layers with no way to find it except by scrolling carefully for a long time. Please add a search function and save our sanity.
Guys and Gals, I’ve been following this thread and waiting for a solution for a few weeks. Finally, I decided to build a plugin FrameSearch . Now here it is! A tool that helps you to search for any frame across all the pages by its name, jump and zoom into any frame you are looking for. Similar to but better than (hopefully) the search option we are missing in sketch

But with viewers like the development team, BA, PM, PO,… they can not use plugin. It’s really inconvenient.

Couldn’t agree more with so much in this thread!

This thread is pretty long, so I’m sorry in case somebody already mentioned this one… but I’ve just found this plugin Find in Page. It lets you search for layers and texts, you can even specify what layer type you’re searching for. Hope it helps someone.

I’ve created a premium search plugin to solve this problem that’s a little different from the others. It enables fast search across all of your Figma files and teams, and it won’t slow down on larger Figma files. Downside is that it takes ~10 minutes to set up and it’s paid.
Here’s the link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1030790287382118338/Supersearch
I’ve been using it for myself the last couple of weeks with CMD+F mapped to open it - it’s definitely a huge timesaver.
Hi @Emile_Paffard-Wray sadly the plugin-link does not work. - 
that was exactly what we were searching for. just pressing cmd+f and find
Apologies Rebecca, I ended up shutting it down as no one was using it consistently or paying and it’s quite expensive to run the servers for it.
Please do give this plugin FrameSearch a try! I’ve used it for almost a year now.
Also, binding the shortcut with cmd+F is super easy. Here is an official guide from Apple: https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/create-keyboard-shortcuts-for-apps-mchlp2271/mac
Hope you enjoy the journey!
Thanks @Martin_Novotny!! That was the only plugin that worked for me
There should be an option to search only inside the selected frames in the “find panel”:
- Selected frames
- This Page
- All Pages
The new Find function is great, but is unusable when you have millions of the same object duplicated on a page, but you only want to select instances inside a single Frame, or multiple selected Frames.
Have you tried using the targeting selection in component properties? Maybe not what you are looking for, but will find instances pretty quickly.
Hello Figma team,
I’m encountering an issue with the Figma prototype, or rather, it would be greatly appreciated if you could address it. I’m working on an intricate project, creating a dashboard with nearly a hundred frames. To connect all these frames using prototype lines, I need to assign each one a very specific name to distinguish them from one another. It becomes quite exhausting to manually connect all these frames by selecting “navigate to” and then searching for the frame I wish to link to, especially with such a large number of frames to manage. Figma lacks a tooltip feature to help identify each frame, which is made more challenging by my lengthy layer names. Consequently, I find this situation quite frustrating as I’m forced to verify each page/frame one by one when inspecting the prototype lines.
I kindly request that you consider implementing a search engine within the interaction menu to facilitate the process of locating frames/pages or, alternatively, provide a tooltip feature to display the full page name within the interaction menu.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
