EDIT: it appears that this issue was related to a specific workspace and not to FME 2025 in general. I have seen this behaviour on several occasions but am unable to reliably reproduce it. If I am able to find a way to reproduce it in the future I may open a support ticket.
I’ll leave this post up in case other people run into this and are able to add more context…

The quick add functionality in Workbench is a huge timesaver. It used to work for camel-case searching with just 2 characters but now (FME 2025) requires at least 3 characters before returning results.
As the majority of transformers are one or two word concatenations this is a huge step backwards.
I’ve become so used to just typing 2 characters abbreviations to add a transformer to the canvas and now that capability has been taken away it will reduce my productivity when building workspaces.
As an example, typing “fm” used to bring up the FeatureMerger but now it brings back 0 results.
“ac” used to bring up AttributeCreator, now it brings back 0 results.
