Is there an option to search through your brushes?

Hi, 
I don’t know if this question was addressed before, but I think it would be more than great to add a search option within the brush panel. 


I used to add brushes as “favorites”. But the list gets longer and longer. And life happened. I needed to reinstall Fresco from scratch, and I lost all my preferences, and my favorites brushes. 

So now, when I paint in Fresco, I just scroll through hundreds and hundreds of brushes, trying to remember the ones I used to use. I use most of Kyle’s brush packs (the mega pack has over 400 great brushes). Even if they are correctly labelled and it is less tiring to go through them, it is still a bane, especially when you are in a creative flow. 


It would be soo useful to have a search option within the brush panel, so when I just look for “ink” brushes, they appear all at once. 


This would help so much, instead of scrolling and scrolling through packs and packs of brushes. 

Am I the only one struggling with this kind of stuff in Fresco? 
Let me know.

    Another idea might be to have sub-categories “Projects” in the Favorites to save what was used in specific projects

    Hi Patrick — as Anubhav said, there's currently no search in Fresco's brush panel, so the UserVoice request is the right route. In the meantime, marking your go-to brushes as favorites (the heart icon on each brush) keeps them grouped without scrolling through every pack. Let us know if you upvoted it!

    thank you for your feedback. Yes, I use the favorites options. Unfortunately, I had to reinstall Fresco on my iPad and everything was lost. I started from scratch, adding brushes as my favorites. 
    The favorites system is good until it’s not. when you have a 100 brushes or more listed as favorites, you kind of end up scrolling way too much. Hence, me asking for a “search brushes” option.
