Coming from Elementor and other WordPress builders, one of the good parts of them was the ability to search through the mass of components that they contained.

A small search bar at the top of the component column that when text was entered would filter the components.

Is this something that could be or is already being planned to add to Elements?

There is already an shortcut if you press: Command-Shift-F

A search bar will appear and you can search quick for a component.

Greetings,

Mike

As well as the keyboard shortcut, there’s also a search bar at the bottom of the component list 😉

You’re not the only one, I think the placement is not very obvious. UX wise it should probably be in the top. Anyway, it’s something we can change in the future 🙂
