The search bar for files in the cloud disappeared after the last update.

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?

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

Bumping this — I opened the app today after the latest update, and I have no idea how to keep working now. I also have hundreds of files in the cloud labeled with keywords, and I use the search function many times a day. Please bring this feature back, it really makes work much harder without it.

Its annoying, either install odler version ( in creative cloud find illustrator, 3 bods, older versions) out you can open aic from creative cloud app - files, or you can search in Home layout and if you open something there is Home icon under file

This is a serious annoyance.

The ability to select & delete a file appears to have gone as well.

Completely ridiculous to remove a feature like this. And for what? I'm seriously starting to think that NONE of you actually ever use the programs you create.

Same issue here.  Adobe please set this right and then leave things alone?  

[DerFahrt]

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

Yes, please fix this - it's awefully annoying not being able to search by name to find a project.

[Oreste0D44]

bumping this, please fix asap. Removing a search option is WILD. Do you guys even use your own products ?
