To search for a block by name, start typing into the search box below the Palette’s title bar. All the blocks that start with the same search characters will be displayed; then more characters entered, the more fined the search will be, displaying fewer block options. The search is a fuzzy search, which means that even misspelt block names should identify the intended matching blocks.
