Empowering the node tree search by providing various search options and highlighting the found nodes or occurrences in a node group. Just press CTRL+F to try it!

The extension brings text search inside multiple node properties. Text search has also option for regular expression search. For geometry nodes you can also search through attributes.

Additionally the extension can help you with identifying problems in your node trees using non text search options.

| Missing Image Nodes | Finds image nodes that do not have image or whose image is invalid |

Found nodes can be selected, or navigated one by one using the Select Found, Previous and Next buttons.
Display options
Found nodes are highlighted by a border if onscreen or a circle indicating location of the found node is displayed if the node is off-screen. The overlay can be toggled on and off by the Bulb Icon next to Search
Occurrences in node group are indicated by a number displayed next to the node. The display can be customized by changing the Highlight Color, Border Attenuation and Text Size.
Display options are located in the Display subpanel.

Very helpful, thank you very much!
Don't know if there may be some sort of limitation with enabling this feature but lacks the ability to Find Frames which i use fairly frequently so that's my main critique here otherwise great addon/extension(is blender officially switching to extensions btw now or what? lol)
Great addon when trying to navigate complex node setups.
