Layer Search

Do you ever find yourself in the situation where you are searching for a layer to control?

Sha-yeah.

It can be like finding a needle in a stack of needle shaped hay. Give this a shot next time. Tucked away in the upper right-hand corner of the Layer Properties palette is the layer search tool.
You can use a combination of characters and wild-cards (the asterisk represents any group of characters and the question mark represents any single character) to find just about any layer quick and easy. Say you are looking for a specific wall layer. type *wall* in the search box and hit your enter key, now the only layers listed have the word wall in them. Nice.
