Please reinstate the Search option under the Help menu

Hi Nariman - thanks for this. Ok - so not available on Windows. Very BAD of Adobe to be discriminating against Windows users in this way 🙂

Hi GayleK, 
I don't think Windows version of PPro ever has such search bar.  
I checked all the way back to PPro version 14 and that version didn't have a search bar. 
I think this was unique to Mac version of PPro.  
This would be a feature request for PPro on Windows.  

hello Gayle, it looks like the issue is on only Windows, I Will report this and check if there is any way for Windows to enable the search option. Will update you once confirm.

thanks,

Suraj. 

Hi Suraj - I'm unable to reply to you by email because the way Adobe is set up seems incompatible with my email system. I posted a reply to your email and post here on June 2nd but I've no0t received a response yet. Could you please read through my post and respond.

Thanks

Gayle

Hi Suraj - thanks for your reply. I'm not at all keen to be uninstalling and reinstalling premiere pro. It seems highly unlikely that doing what you suggest would fix things because my computer is relatively new and windows was installed correctly with English-US as as the default language as was Creative Cloud. 

It seems that you are using Apple (below your search bar is an option to send feedback to Apple). I am on a Windows platform. Maybe that's the difference. The screen grab I sent showing the search option was from an old version on an Apple MAC.

Also - the search bar is missing for ALL the adobe suite programs I currently use: Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge & Media Encoder. Uninstalling and re-installing these is also highty undesirable.

Can you please check if there is some special shortcut for the search bar like there is in Photoshop? I've attached a screen grab from photoshop where Ctrl-F (Windows) brings up a Discover pop-up with a search bar in it. Typing in something gives you some options. If you select one, you're taken to it. This is the FUNCTIONALITY I'm looking for in Premiere Pro which it seems is there on Apple installations. 

Thanks again

Gayle

Can you please check other windows installations to see if I'm the odd one out? 

Hello, Gayle

I'm sorry, but I have no idea why this occurs on your end. I've checked the most recent releases, and if the OS language is set to English, the problem isn't present. See the attached Screenshot.

Attempt this; it could work:

1. Premiere Pro was uninstalled, and Creative Cloud was signed out.

2. Removed the OS Language or restarted the computer and added the English(en_US) language back.

3. Log in, install the application, and give it a shot.

Let me know if it functions.

Thanks,

Suraj.

Hi Suraj,

Thanks for your reply.

I've checked my Windows 10 system language and it is Engligh (United States) as is my Creative Cloud language so this is not the cause of the problem. I've taken a screen grab of what I get when I mouse-over the help menu in Premiere Pro 2023 and attached it here for you to see. As you can see, there is no Search option 😞

Thanks

Gayle
