You are a hero. Thank you for all your hard work improving illustrator so it saves countless hours for people worldwide via your scripts.
I'm going to reach out and try to help you somehow for saving me so much time.
We can't wait for adobe to make all these improvements. -

@Sergey Osokin like all your scripts, this is very good! I love the live search as you type in the artboard name. It solves a lot of problems with the whole Illustrator artboard misery. Thank you very much for making this available!
I wanted to make a donation via PayPal but it is currently restricted. I am sorry this is affecting you personally! -

I created a script for navigating to artboards by their name or size

There are many ways to implement this in illustrator.
Am I right thinking that we all mean the same filter search Photoshop has?
What other options do you think are needed? -

Please! I now have to look for alternatives for icon libraries.

Yes please. I am constantly looking for artboards in a large icon design file. No workarounds for this either so this would be a welcome improvement.

Very helpful suggestion. I have tried numerous times to search my illustrator file for a specific artboard or item name within an artboard. This would help a lot.

Would also be brilliant for icon creation, especially now that we have the possibility for up to 999 artboards per file.

This would be very useful. For example: I have a lot of artboards with technical drawings of products. I want to be able to search in the artboard panel by product code, so that I can easily find the artboard I am looking for
