How to search installed / added fonts?

In the CC desktop app, is it possible to search the fonts that Ive installed / added?

 

I've added a lot and they dont appear to be in alphabetical order, I could do with finding a particular font in there.

 

Is there an easy way to do this? the search bar above seems separate

The drop-down menu lets you view fonts listed in either Newest, Oldest, Font Name A-Z or Font Name Z-A. I don't like how the scroll bar works for skimming through the list; it's very frustrating to get the scroll button to appear and stay visible. It's really bad when using a Wacom tablet and stylus. In that case I have to use arrow keys on the keyboard just to cycle thruogh the fonts list.

 

Currently there isn't a search function to look for a specific font in the list or make the list jump down to a specific type family. It could be a good feature request to make in the user voice forum:

This is a seriously overlooked, and essential UI/UX feature for a creative app such as CC. Adobe really needs to address this. It's certainly not a difficult thing to add to the interface and push out with an upcoming software update.
