N-Panel Search earns its place in the superhive library by replacing tab scrolling with a typed search that expands the addon tab you want, useful once your N-Panel fills up with add-ons.
N-Panel Search is a Blender add-on by hodgson3d that locates addon tabs in the N-Panel through a search field instead of scrolling the vertical tab strip. Click the search icon in the 3D viewport header, type, and the matching addon tab expands right where you're working.
Fuzzy search matches tabs even when you don't type their names exactly, and the tool keeps recently searched tabs at the top of the list for quicker selection. You can assign a hotkey to the search function, and the add-on works across workspaces including the 3D View, UV Editor, Compositor and VSE. It is also compatible with Simple Tabs and keeps a clean, unobtrusive interface.
It supports Blender versions 4.2 to 4.5, ships as an add-on under the GPL license, and is Blender Extension compatible. A demo video is available on the developer's page.
N-Panel Search - Find Your Addon Tabs Fast is best for power users with extensive addon collections and anyone tired of hunting through cluttered N-Panels.
N-Panel Search - Find Your Addon Tabs Fast is completely free to download and use.
N-Panel Search lists support for Blender versions 4.2 through 4.5 and is marked Blender Extension compatible. It installs as an add-on and adds a search icon to the 3D viewport header. The add-on is also available in other workspaces, including the UV Editor, Compositor and VSE, so the search function is accessible beyond the 3D View. Check the developer's page for the most current version details before installing.
N-Panel Search supports hotkey assignment for its search function, so you can trigger the search without clicking the icon each time. By default you click the search icon in the 3D viewport header and type to expand the matching addon tab. Assigning a shortcut gives you a faster route to the same search. The tool also remembers recently searched tabs at the top of the list, keeping frequently used tabs within quick reach.
N-Panel Search is available across workspaces, including the 3D View, UV Editor, Compositor and VSE. In each, you can search for addon tabs rather than scrolling the N-Panel's vertical tab strip. Its fuzzy search finds tabs even when you don't type their names exactly, and it is compatible with Simple Tabs. The interface stays clean and unobtrusive, and recently searched tabs appear at the top of the list for repeat access.

Licensing and pricing can change, so check the developer's page for the current terms before you download. The listing shows it is Blender Extension compatible and supports Blender 4.2 through 4.5, which is worth confirming against your own Blender version.
