Can you check again with fresh build? (https://builder.blender.org/download/daily/)

Issue you are facing is may be similar to: T89001: Blender 3.0 alpha : At some point Search in shader editor stops working

I tried again with today's build. Sometimes, it works. But then all of the sudden, it stops working, and stays that way for a while.


It looks like the exact same symptoms as T89001 to me.

Can you check again with default settings (File -> Defaults -> Load Factory Settings)

Interesting. I did what you suggested, and it worked fine with the default settings. I enabled my addons one by one to see if it could be one of my addons causing an interference of some type. It turns out, as soon as I enabled Erindale Toolkit , my search stopped working. The current version is made for 2.93, so it makes sense that I had some problems when trying to use it in an experimental 3.0 . I will make sure to check my addons next time I report a bug.

and it worked fine with the default settings.

Ok then, Closing the task.

Thanks again for the report! :)
