As a UI designer, this is an amazing plugin idea. I would use this constantly if I could, but sadly it doesn't seem to work correctly in version CS6.

I haven't tested it with CS6. Will do it soon. But isn't this feature already there in CS6?

There is a built-in Layer search feature in CS6. http://d.pr/i/owMK

This is great for below CS6. CS6 has search function, that can be searched via Name, Kind, Effect, Mode, Attribute and Color. It's pretty extensive.

Pixel pushers should def upgrade to CS6 - it also has auto snap to pixel grid for Vector Tools which is a godsend.

That's what I was thinking - I bet it's why he decided to open-source it. Good decision :)

Nice work, I'll be looking through the source for sure.

Just a side question, is there an export each folder layer into individual image plugin somewhere?

This is fairly simple to build. You can fork my source and build it. I can help you out.

Cool let me reach out to you on github.

If you installed it, I'd like to hear feedback.

Would be great before CS6 since there's already a search function in CS6.
