Project Panel search BUG: Not filtering search, showing NOTHING when searching for files in project

{Premiere Pro Version 25.1} UP TO DATE LATEST VERSION

Febuuary 2025

 

As you can see in photo's attached, I spent a really long time making this project, all for eventually the project to incur a bug, where I have 265 files in the project panel, and when needing to quickly nagivate to re-input/drag files into the project by simply typing a few letters to FIND the file, the search shows abosolutely NOTHING. Even typing ONE LETTER, completely shows ZERO SEARCH RESULTS. 

For example, look at the 2 screenshots attached. 

I Type "E" to isolate/search the "Eddie-Hall.png" file, and the search goes BLANK. 

How pathetic is that?

 

ABSOLUTELY APPALLING, I WANT  FULL REFUND FOR THIS MONTHS BILLING! 

THIS IS THE SECOND PROBLEM THAT'S CRASHED MY HARD WORK THIS WEEK. 

 

No I have to either use my windows explorer to find what I need all over again through THOUSANDS OF FILES AND FOLDERS, or Have to navigate manually through the 265 files in the project panel. 

 

Terrible

I am having the same issue in Premiere Pro 26.0.0 (Build 72) - I usually filter sequences in the project window when I need to render - now When i type “seq” in the search field, nothing happens.

In fact it is like the search field does not work at all

Changing to List view did not change anything. 

However, I did move the media Cache folder to my D drive because my CV drive was running low on space. Somehow I've restarted my computer, Opened up the project and it's now filtering searches. What a relief! 

Maybe it was a fluke. 

I would still look into it if I were you , or any further complaints come in.

Hi @jeremiah_6906 

 

Welcome to the Premiere Pro forums!  We’re happy you’ve reached out.  That sounds like it is making editing a real struggle.  Did @MyerPj  suggestion help?  Was the project created in 25.1, or did you update to that?  Have you cleared the cache?  We’ll need a bit more info to try to help with your issue. Please see: How do I write a bug report?

 

I hope we can help you soon.

Try your project in List view and see if that might work.
