- Allowing you to search the Layers window by keyword.
- Saving a "slice" layer so you can save slices with certain layers or folders
- Saving a "guide" layer so you can save guides with certain layers or folders

shall we have a Layer Search Option on Layer Window where we can search a Particular layer. I used to do so many experiments when i design that makes my layers goes in crazy numbers. It will be great if Photoshop have this feature.

"Please add a search function for layer names. I want to be able to find a layer by typing its name."

"Searchable layers palette"

"Could you PLEASE make a layer spotlight search in Photoshop just like After Effects has effects spotlight search?"

Love this idea - whilst some of the better designers we work with are well organised, we often inherit PSDs with just a mass of badly labelled, ungrouped layers, so searching via label or attribute would be a great help.

As for the re-ordering issue, a really simple solution would be for the results to switch back to the full layer view upon selection of one of the results. You tap in your search query, thinning a few hundred layers down to a handful, and once you click on the one you're after, the view reverts back to all layers, with your chosen layer highlighted and in the middle of the layer window (or top/bottom depending on fit).

That's exactly what I need! 🙂

Eek! Finding related layers in a folder-filled .psd is like finding a needle – or a multitude of them – in a haystack! Here's an item on my wish list...color coding for layers.

Since I often make edits to many related items in different folders, it would be great to have a function that would select a number of layers by color (or other tag/label of some kind) and make the global edits simultaneously.

Example: I'm creating several Web navigation tabs. I would like to change the font for all the tabs, but I have to open all the associated folders, and then click on each font layer to edit them at the same time. If they were all tagged "orange," I could make a selection of all orange layers with an automated command, and presto, they're all selected and ready for changes - without all that folder-expanding and clicking! Even if the auto function was absent, at least I could SEE them readily in order to shift-click select them.

I wholesomely support this idea...i was just about to post it until i saw this. This would really save me a LOT of time. I'm very organized in my layer naming but sometimes it just gets SO large that it would be far easier to search for something if i could search for group names at the very least.

Yes, please Adobe!! It should be possible to search within layers. I often have more than hundreds of layers. The one thing I often use is to use the right mouse click on the photoshop file to choose the layer I need. BUT... it would be better to have a small search box to have a more powerful function to choose layers.
