Hi Everyone,
This functionality is available in our latest release build – 27.6.1.
The new functionality allows searching layers by name using the searchbar in the layers panel. The users can also apply filters based on layer properties (locked, hidden etc) or objects properties (effects, text etc.). This will help to quickly find layers/objects for large documents (having multiple layers).

Thank you for all the feedback.

Fixed in Beta 27.9 5. Please check if it works for you.
At the test setup it now takes roughly 1 second to hide and show layers.
An error occurred while saving the comment Past work and any files already created with more than about 400 layers have become so laggy that they are impossible to work on due to the delays introduced in toggling layers visible and hidden
This latest feature massively slows down (can be up to 30 seconds now when it used to be one second) when trying to toggle visibility on and off for layers in files that have over 1000 layers. This was not an issue before you introduced this quick filter feature. Thank goodness I label my layers too and can filter them before toggling, but know it really sucks if you are working fast and out of habit hit toggle visibility on a single layer without that filter on because you can get blocked for 30 seconds to over a minute depending on how complex your files is. Beware!
