It is very simple a search box in the query editor. In our case, we have more than 30 data sources and we need to find them easily. A search box on the top of the queries will be great.

Good information, thankssehackear.top
RE: Search box in query editor for queries.
In larger models, having 50-100 queries is not uncommon. However, even with query groups, finding a particular query/function quickly is not always easy. A filter box, similar to the field search in report view, would make query editing much easier.
RE: Search box in query editor for queries.
The ability to search and find a table or a field in the modeling area is great and very helpful when having lots of tables and fields.
It would be super great to have some kind of search in the power query area (right near to the Queries list.
for example :
* simple textual search for just a table/function/parameter from the long list.
* advanced search will enable a search by field name and will show only the queries how has the searched field in any of its steps.
would be a huge time saving when dealing with models with many stagings/tables/functions/parameters.

This is a necessary QOL feature. Also needs to be added to the query dependency view too.

Like Jessica Williams said: please throw in this search across queries a replace function to mass update sources, or field names.

Just what I realice in a very complex Project with multiple queryes
RE: Search box in query editor for queries.
Agreed on query search box for repeated query steps! For example- if I have multiple queries that had removed "Bay" from my city column, but I need to edit those queries to only transform "San Francisco Bay Area" to be "San Francisco", it would be so handy to be able to replace all of those queries simultaneously like in Excel's "find and replace" function
