Hi, I don't know if there's already a thread about this, but after the latest update to Illustrator 2026, the search bar in my cloud documents disappeared (File - open - Cloud documents). I have a lot of similar documents, and for years I've been naming them according to keywords so I can quickly find older documents. Am I just looking in the wrong place, or is there a way to request that the search bar be brought back?

Well this is a bummer.  Adobe is like the sound guy at a venue.  Does soundcheck gets all the settings sounding great for the room.  Come showtime there they are fiddling with all the knobs.  Knock it off.

And i didnt mention how you cant see the number of Artwork, if you have anything above in top left now, you need to go to layers window and choose artworks

I will downgrade to older version for now, its kind of a deal breaker for me, I have hundreds of files in my cloud (.aic) from past 4 years. I found how to search after opening illustrator for the first file, but I cant do that if I open something and need to open second file (to copy logos from old file for example)

 

= I can search in home layout of illustrator, but cant search in File - open - Documents in Cloud and search there, It worked until v30.0
