    Is there a Search Bar for the Project Explorer

    My Access project has about 80 to 100 forms, reports and modules. They are all named in a standard way, but the blizzard of titles makes it hard to navigate to the desired object. This is not a high priority post, more of a comment. I use the search feature on the navigation pane all the time and find it quite useful in digging out queries and tables. I have not seen a similar feature in the Project Explorer. Does that feature exist?

    I do that to search code, but it doesn't help me find a form or a module.

    Try the Search box in Navigation Pane. Alt+F11 puts you in that box.

    Ooops, just reread OP and see this is already known.

    Not sure of your question so this might not help. The object browser has a search function. If you restrict the library to the db in question, you should be able find any form, report or module in the specific db. Of course, it would require you to know at least part of the object name to narrow down the results to something useful. You double click on a row in the results (if you're concise enough with the name of the form/report you may only end up with 1 result) and it should take you to the top of the code module for the object.

    Search in Navigation Pane or Object Browser works. Don't have to restrict libraries but you will get more results than probably want.
