Question

Typing font name into font search doesn't appear with first letter (CC 2019)

The font name I typed into the search box doesn't appear with its first letter: It shows me the font in which that letter is in the word.

For example, when I type "w" to search for a font that starts with the letter "w", it takes me to the "A.V.C.Wide..." font, even though I want it to sort the fonts that start with "w".

This happens with all fonts. When I search only for a letter, I want to see only the font names that start with that letter.

    After testing some other photoshop versions, it appears that's been the norm since photoshop cc 2014.

    This is not a bug so I've moved your post to discussions. If you enter any part of a typeface, Adobe filters to all typefaces with those letters. Try "bold", "pro", "black", "italic", etc. It's a wonderful feature that I use all the time.

    It's not about these feature and I believe it's still a bug or a problem to be developed.
    The problem is about sorting the searched font name by whether it is found in the word or not, not alphabetically.
    For ex: I type the font name that starts with "r" in the search but it shows me the font name "arial" instead of the font name "Rajdhani". I want to see only the font names that start with that letter.
