**Description** :When a dapp requests wallet connection, MetaMask lets users edit which accounts are shared. For users with many accounts, finding the right account requires scrolling through the full list, which can be slow and error-prone. A search field in the account selection/edit screen would make it easier to filter accounts by account name, address, or ENS.

**Purpose:** To help users quickly find the correct account, reduce the chance of connecting the wrong account, and improve usability for wallets with many accounts.

**Extension/Mobile/Both:** Both, ideally. If it needs to start somewhere, Extension first.

Thanks for taking the time to write this up clearly and for including the screenshot - it makes it much easier for the team to understand exactly what you’re proposing.  
Search functionality for the account selection screen (by name, address, or ENS) is a reasonable UX improvement, especially for users managing a large number of accounts
