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.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Name | Search in names of nodes |
Label | Search in labels of nodes |
Type | Search in the blidname property |
Additionally the extension can help you with identifying problems in your node trees using non text search options.
Option | Description |
---|---|
Disconnected Nodes | Finds nodes that do not connect to anything, but have outputs |
Missing Image Nodes | Finds image nodes that do not have image or whose image is invalid |
Missing Node Groups | Finds node groups with empty node trees (Missing DNA block error) |
Found nodes can be selected, or navigated one by one using the Select Found
, Previous
and Next
buttons.
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.
This extension does not require special permissions.
Very nice tool.
I found some issues. In geometry nodes I added "Braid Hair Curves" node and inside it I searched for "position". It creates giant highlight at the bottom and middle that doesn't have any nodes in it. Can you take a look?
Thanks. In future if you want your add-on to be reviewed again you should tag it as "Awaiting Review" when commenting here.
As user feedback, I would like it if there was option for "match case" so that I can search for "Position" and only see position nodes, not "Set Positions".
Hey everyone,
Just a heads-up about a recent change regarding the licensing of add-ons on the Blender extension platform. Moving forward, all add-ons will need to be released under the GNU/GPL 3.0 license (SPDX:GPL-3.0-or-later). This is mainly to keep things simple and consistent across the board.
Previously, we accepted various licenses as long as they were compatible with Blender’s distribution. However, to avoid any confusion and streamline the process, all add-ons using the bpy API should now be presented as GPL 3 (the same license the Blender bundle is distributed). Regardless of whether the original code was under GPL 2, or something else like MIT or ZLIB.
Existing add-ons versions won't be affected. However, new updates will need to comply to the revised requirements.
Thanks for understanding, and feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
