Search in Automations Always worked perfectly - Stopped working recently

BruceCleghorn · November 14, 2025, 3:57pm

Hey guys

Just wondering if anyone else is getting these problems.
I’ve always been incredibly anal about my automation names; that they follow a standard pattern and have the same keywords for triggers/actions that are shared across different automations. This always made searching for similar/related automations nice and easy

About 2 or 3 weeks ago (sorry I’ve been on holiday) the Search by automation name stopped working for me. It works on the first few words in the alias, but not on the entire alias anymore.

For example
alias: System <> Home Assistant 11b - Bruce iPhone Not Home (x4 All) (Template Sensor) = Boolean Bruce Away On

If I search “Home Assistant 11b” it works
If I search “Home Assistant 11b - Br” it does not work
If I search “Bruce iPhone” it does not work
If I search “Bruce Away” it does not work
If I export my automations.yaml into a txt or xls file, I can search just fine for anything I want

I’ve obviously checked and I have NO FILTERS set

Installation method Home Assistant OS
Core 2025.11.1
Supervisor 2025.11.2
Operating System 16.3
Frontend 20251105.0

Search results are not prioritizing the most relevant items at the top

### Checklist - [x] I have updated to the latest available Home Assistant versi…on. - [x] I have cleared the cache of my browser. - [x] I have tried a different browser to see if it is related to my browser. - [ ] I have tried reproducing the issue in [safe mode](https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/11/01/release-202311/#restarting-into-safe-mode) to rule out problems with unsupported custom resources. ### Describe the issue you are experiencing When searching for entities in various dropdown menus throughout Home Assistant, the most relevant matches are not consistently prioritized at the top of the results. This occurs in multiple contexts, including when adding entities to cards and when selecting entities for automations. Example issue: When searching for "aqaramotion3", entities named "aqaramotion1" appear above the exact match "aqaramotion3" in the search results. Impact: While this isn't a critical problem, it becomes increasingly frustrating when working with dozens of similarly named entities, as users must scan through irrelevant results to find the exact match they're looking for. The search algorithm could be improved to better prioritize exact matches and more relevant results. ### Describe the behavior you expected The most relevant items appear at the top of the search results. ### Steps to reproduce the issue 1.Open “Edit an entity’s card.” 2. Search for an entity to add. 3. Observe the dropdown results. ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? 2025.9.4 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### In which browser are you experiencing the issue?

I am having a similar problem with search in automations.

I was trying to search for motion-based automations.

I have a total of 136 automations. Not all of them are motion-based.

When I type “motion”, it matches all 136.

If I type “mot”, it matches the motion-based automations, but also an unwanted automation containing the word “remote”.

Once I type the fourth character - i - making it a “moti” query, then all 136 automations match.

Using core + supervisor, 2025.11.2 and frontend 20251105.0 .
