Hi,

you may try LAYWALK command . by Shift / Ctrl +Select button you can just isolate ( turn on ) those layers .

In the Layers Properties Manager, in the upper right corner is a filter or search function.  Pick on that and you will see an asterisk, you will want to type the word you are after with typical wildcard format.  So for a layers called

A-WORD-___, you type *word* and only those layers will be shown.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

Sure. But what do you want to do next? What's your goal?

Yes, you can type in a quick filter in the upper right corner  of your layer palette or you can make a filter.

Quick filter ex. a-* = anything with an a-  (*) means all characters.  (?) replaces single characters.
