If you have a lot of characters and ligatures in an illustrator file, searching for a glyph becomes tedious. In Illustrator you cannot search for the name of an object. I have now written a Javascript for this. The script searches within a selection or the whole document for a name or part of a name.
For example, “$.liga” shows all objects ending in “…liga”. Or “A$” shows all objects that begin with “a” or “A”.
The input for the Javascript automatically appears in German in a German Illustrator, otherwise in English.
