Like in the search results it will put something like "Object: Set frame to 1" but when I try to search for that, no results come up when I'd expect it would return results for all instance types of "Object" if their frame is set to 1. So how DO I actually search for this?

What do you mean by searching for and find?

Are you simply trying to have an action event happen to any object that is on frame 1?

or do you mean, when typing your autocomplete isn't pulling anything up?

Because Construct has a visual code editor, Search function doesn't work very well there. You can search for an object name, or for a specific word/phrase in the action or condition. But if you try searching for, say "Sprite Set Angle", it won't work, and this is pretty disappointing.

Ah alas. I guess it works really well despite this limitations where it can actually find exact phrases as long as it's an object or condition/action.
