I’m experiencing a persistent issue in Premiere Pro where the Graphics Templates → Browse search returns “No matching search results”, even when the search term clearly exists in the filenames of visible MOGRTs.
Concrete example (with screenshots available):
When I type LOWER into the Graphics Templates search bar, Premiere returns “No matching search results.”
This happens regardless of which location filters are enabled (Local, Libraries, etc.).
Important context:
This is not a recent regression.
The (Essential) Graphics Templates search has never worked for me, across 5+ years of use and multiple Premiere Pro versions.
Templates appear and function normally when browsing folders; only search is affected.
I've included a screenshot of the local MORGT folder with the file path (in case thats the issue)
-USE MAC STUDIO apple silicon but this issue has always been there for me on previous imac pros for years. please help.
CAVEAT: I DO GET SEARCH RESULTS WHEN I SEARCH STUFF IN ADOBE STOCK "FREE" SEARCH AREA IN THE GRAPHICS Templates PANEL. BUT NO SEARCH RESULTS ON THE "MY TEMPLATES" SIDE. I WILL INCLUDE SCREENSHOT SHOWING THIS.
