Quick find

Meet quick find: an easy way to search for elements, symbols, pages, CMS content, and more in the Designer without leaving your keyboard.

Quick find

<p>When you’re working on a big project, it can take a lot of clicks to get around. This is a problem on computers as well. Apple created something to fix it: Spotlight search. And people took that even further by creating <a href="<https://www.alfredapp.com/>" data-rt-link-type="external">Alfred</a>.<br></p><p>So we’re taking a page out of these books and creating our own version for Webflow, which we’re calling quick find. How does it work? Easy: hit CMD + E (CTRL + E on Windows) in the Designer and search to your heart’s content.</p><figure class="w-richtext-figure-type-image w-richtext-align-center" data-rt-type="image" data-rt-align="center" data-rt-max-width="719.5px" style="max-width:719.5px"><div><img src="<https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/64f9399ca7d13575ff21a675/64f9399ca7d13575ff21c446_quick-find.gif>" alt="Find stuff.
