Custom feature search?!

Have I missed an update in the way that custom features can be searched? I wanted to add a point directly in the Part Studio, used the search.. and it showed me custom features..
One I already had (by @Pascoe_Design  sorry, @MichaelPascoe ), and another which I didn't.. this is awesome! :) Thank you, Onshape team!


P.S. If you want to see what I was doing:

Freeform Spline & Wire FS are the best!

    This is from the Feb 18th Onshape Update. It is only for some very few custom features that have been quality checked and maintained by Onshape. Perhaps they will have a way to apply for this in the future. I'm not sure how to get features into this list currently.

    Also, here is my tag: @MichaelPascoe, I'm not sure who @Pascoe_Design is but it is an honor to meet you  :D

    Ah, great find, thank you! Must have missed it back then..
    The search feature has been extended to include a curated set of custom features that have been quality checked and maintained by Onshape. At this time, there are 6 custom features that can be searched for: Spur gear, Belt, Lighten, Point pattern, 3D Lines, and Wiring with more to be added in the future. The search results dialog will show a description, an image and a “+” button next to the feature name so you can add it to your toolbar if you wish.
    These are good features, and I wish some of yours @MichaelPascoe (now it's correct, sorry :# ) and e.g. @Evan_Reese (and others, e.g. @MBartlett21 , @sebastian_glanzner , @TimRice and @NeilCooke) would make the list. Because they are truly from the community :smiley:

    Good find @MichaelPascoe and @fnxf! I believe a few of mine are in there, including Point Pattern 😃
