In addition to searching dashboards by title, you can now search panels as well. If a panel’s title matches your search query, it will be displayed in the search results.
Grafana 9 has a feature toggle `panelTitleSearch`. When enabled, it tells Grafana to use a new search engine. Instead of using SQL queries, the new search uses an in-memory full-text index. That provides a better search experience and additionally allows searching through panel titles.
