Question

Add a search to the action panel.

When there are hundreds of actions, it is too difficult to find the action you want. Add a search function to the action panel. 

Thank you,

It's an obvious enhancement that has never appeared since the feature was first added.

 

There is at least one 3rd party extension panel that can do this, however it is not free.

 

This forum is not the place to make feature requests, you are talking to other users here, not Adobe. The official place for feedback is:

There are at least three other requests for the same feature:

Add your vote to the existing requests, also make a new post if you think that would help.

Please don't hold your breath while waiting... Actions were introduced in v4 (not CS4 or later), so that was 1994 and have mostly remained unchanged (yes, conditional actions that were first added in CS6 Extended are great in their limited scope).

 

While waiting you can purchase the panel or use this free option:
