Way to go, Adobe. Nearly completely stable CC2018, you force the upgrade, and now we have a search box that's unusable.

Premiere Pro 12.1.1

Search tool does not work fro everyone in my office. Greatly slowing down our work flow. Sometimes you can quit and restart premiere, but that doesn't always work. HELP!

This shows up as a problem going back years. It happens to me about every other month.

search bar is greyed out across multiple projects. A newly created file seems to work sometimes, but not if multiple video files are in the project.

Search is greyed out for me and it's critical go finish my project, please fix ASAP!!!! Win10 using PPro 12.1.1.

Same here. Can't even work with this. And Even I can't go back to Previous version, because all my projects already updated to newer version.

In addition to this problem there is a part where when you are in the import dialogue box and can't search for an item. When you type on search bar on top right nothing shows up.

By default the search filter is set to "All Supported Media". I have to manually go and change to png or jpeg for it to be able to search.

Basically it won't search when the filter in set to "All supported media".

Can't search using search bar. extremely frustrating. is there an ETR?

Please fix this - my projects are about 2 days behind because of this....

Premiere 12.1.1 (Build 10), Windows 7. Search/Filter box almost always unavailable with this new update.

If I start a new project and then import a saved project into it, I can get the search/filter box to re-activate _for that session only_. If I save, shutdown, and restart Premiere, the dialogue is greyed out again even for the new project.

Sometimes it will not reactivate even if the create-new/import-old process is repeated.

The problem is recreatable.

I have the problem since the update

On windows 10 Pro, same here, search ability in project panel is greyed out. Very frustrating as we work with keyword metadata

Search bar is greyed out most of the time in different projects

since last update no search ability in project window

since last update no search ability in project window

same problem here on my macOS Sierra running the latest update 12.1.1
sometimes the search bar in the project window is grayed out. Deleting the cache sometimes work.
this bug happens also on a windows 10 machine at the shopping channel where I work. They already started looking for alternatives. SHAME!!

My search bar works intermittently and it's VERY frustrating. I'm working on the newest version of PP on a late 2015 iMac with 32GB RAM.

Is there a way to flag two issues as related or the same? I've voted for this option before and if you combine the votes it's happening a lot.

My search bar is not working. Have read through the various solutions but none have worked for me. CC 12.1.1 on Mac OS 10.12.6 April 20.

This issue has plagued us for a while, sometimes it fixes itself, sometimes not. Not exactly sure what kinds of actions or situations make it work vs. not work. But it is *very* frustrating in a complex project where you need to find certain assets.
