This is a quick tip on how to filter your design elements in Domino Designer to help quickly find what you’re looking for.
I have to laugh at myself sometimes. 80% into one of my recent XPages Projects, I found myself completely frustrated, trying to pinpoint 1 of many custom control designs in Domino Designer. I almost fell off my chair when I realised that the solution was staring me in the face the entire time.
In Domino Designer, irrelevant of if you’re viewing XPages design elements, custom controls, views, forms, etc, there is a filter option on the top right side of the content Pane. This allows you to track a certain design element using a keyword. As long as that keyword exists in the design element name or alias column, you’re good to go.

Hope this helps.

UPDATE:
Thanks to Tommy Valand and Per Lausten for suggesting Ctrl + Shift + R, which searches for any design element by name in applications that are open in DDE.
