Search categories

Customise your suggested categories

When searching for things in Alloy, you can choose to search within a feature category.

The list of suggested categories can be customised to your liking. Disable ones you don't use and enable others that aren't by default. If you regularly search for items of a specific design/interface, add it to your suggestions to speed up future searches ⚡.

To get started, select Configure suggestions at the bottom of the list.
