Finding and Relinking Missing Footage in After Effects

In past versions of After Effects, I have been able to click on the missing footage, hit the return key to make the name editable, type command c to copy the name of missing footage and paste that into the search bar. This made locating and relinking footage very simple. That feature seems to have gone away in the past year or so. It would be great to get that back again. Are there any other discussions on this? Or is there something in the preferences that I'm missing?

Copy still works. Try right cliciing in the search field and choose Paste instead of using the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl/Cmnd + v).
