How to search something specific within a node?

Describe the problem/error/question

Hi all, this is probably something simple.. but how do you search a node for something specific?

For example, I remember I have made a google spreadsheet node to update a sheet called “X”, but because the workflow is already super complex (with dozens of google spreadsheet node, webhook and what not) its very hard to find which google spreadsheet node that I created.

Is there like a search within a workflow where I can type a keyword and it highlights a node where that word is found? Google says I can press forward slash to do a global search, bt I tried it doesn’t seem to do anything.

Thanks

hi @Modular_Economy

General advice: do not use complex workflows; divide them into smaller ones with sub-workflows.

I have some processes with about 10 workflows in a row. If placed together, it would be hundreds of nodes and would become too complex to handle.

As for the node placements, the new node would be placed where the cursor was. Or you can use browser’s Ctrl+F for searching

Hi Barn4k, noted on dividing them into smaller ones.
I’ve tried this to some extent, even boxing up to group similar tasks using sticky note with colors.

just that on real life scenario yes ur right, it can easily grow to hundreds.. mine right now only has ard 130ish, and probably going to increase..
it wouldve been great if say theres a community plugin to search for a particular string existing on a node, and focus on it. im guessing even if i can divide it smaller, i would still have to check many workflows
