Hi Knime Team! It happens to me a lot that I have to find a node in a large model only knowing its ID (the IDs of my nodes usually look like: 43:507:169:46). It is very painful to find the node in Knime only by browsing, opening submodels (wrapped metanodes and normal metanodes) and visually identify the node in the workflow. Is there a “search a node by ID” option in Knime? (I googled a lot without success). If not, is that feature on the Knime’s development roadmap? (By searching a node I mean to focus that node in knime workflow window and bring it on the center of the screen). Bonus part 1 (additional search option): By the way, searching nodes in the model by another term will also be very interesting and useful, for example an option like to “list all the nodes containing th word XXX” somewhere in the title, description, variable, code or calculation, etc. Is it possible? Bonus part 2 (Auditing columns more easy) One last very useful option will be the option to “list all the nodes that touch/use X column somewhere upstream in the workflow” (with that option will be much more efficient to audit the columns calculation done somewhere upstream in a model). Any ideas if this will be possible in a near future? Does anyone know a workaround for this? Thanks in advance! Best, Andres

You could still try to adapt some ‘dirty’ metasearch approaches:
