Filter Addons SearchBar

When you have a lot of addons ,it would be nice to have a search bar to make the process of filtering easier !

that would be really good. i think sometimes i go blind when trying to find a addon. although i found out that they are listed as registered. so i have to remember when i installed it ??? although pablo said in the last blender today show, they are aware of that and are going to redesign it.

Good Idea, friend! I was thinking about this feature too! And to be able to specify add-ons, separated by commas, that should be found interactively. In general, we need an advanced addon manager that will allow us to assign color coding to addon titles on the panel.

* @nazir-bai * yeah man , i have so many addons , sometimes you just want to use one ,for memory sake or whatever , and more you have more it's hard for the eye to spot the right one so you waste of couples of seconds by scrolling in the list . the search bar would be logic :)

searchbar would be the minimum improvement but a system of presets where we can regroup addons is really needed

also it should let you click and drag the selected addons like thw whole interface, idk why this isnt done??

* @AnityEx * because blender try to be such a swiss army knife at doing so many things ,they skipped the basic ergonomy (like , drag and drop a file in the viewport to open it (obj ,fbx etc )
