Is it possible to search across Workflows for terms in Node names or in Annotations?

[Mirri]

I am familiar that I can filter workflows by terms in the workflow name, but is it possible to search across workflows for terms within the workflows?

For example, I would like to use Annotations to document workflows with useful keywords, and then I would like to search for workflows that contain those keywords.

Is this possible with Knime?

Many thanks,

@Mirri I have built an example that would do that

Metasearch for KNIME's xml files – mlauber71

Search a Node in a Knime Workflow by Id (Goto & focus a Node by ID)

A colleague of mine came up with maybe a similar question and we developed some super dirty approach that might give you an idea where to look. Since all things KNIME are stored in XML files we thought we might as well import them and search for a specific term. I constructed this scenario. I have my XML search meta workflow and a workflow in a subfolder (you might use any folder you like). I want to know where someone used the term “cryptic_xy_name” somewhere in the folder/workflow.

Also you can access the “workflow.meta” file of a workflow

@swebb I built a workflow to extract information from the “workflow.meta” file of a KNIME workflow [image]
