Submitted a “word-search” request before, and you closed saying it was already being addressed in another post:
What this dude is talking about is different than what I’m talking about. Simply, I just want the ability to search for a word within the body of my text, NOT the layers.
I installed this plugin:
but it only finds which layer the word is within; it doesn’t pinpoint where the word itself is. I just need the ability to do the classic Command+F word-search to simply find a word “on the page,” to find a particular word amongst my body of text IN a layer / ON a frame, not the ability to search for a named frame amongst the layers.
Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this
It’s pretty common for changing service wordings on design files (e.g. call a ‘post’ as ‘question’, ‘card’, ‘request’, ‘topic’, ‘tweet’ etc). If the team decided to change those wordings to another one, I always had to find all of the wordings in design file and then change all of them manually.
Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)
Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation
Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?
In my organization, Developers only have Editor access to figma files, and as Editors don’t have the ability to download plugins, they’re not able to search for specific text in designer’s notes.
Can you please integrate Search Text as a core feature of the Figma application instead of having users rely on plugins?
