[Feature Request] Search by variable name

[sanec9999Participant]

Hello! In my project i’m using flow canvas as level design scripting tool and sometimes there are a lot of nodes at one canvas. In this case, its easy to forgot which node using which scene object as a variable. That would be handy to be able to just search object’s name and find all nodes, which are using it. Like a “Ctrl + F” in any text editor or browser, but for a canvas.

Can’t you do this on the “Graph Explorer” window?

Graph Explorer finds variables only if they was created as node and doesn’t find if they was assigned directly inside of node.

Hey,

Hmm. input value port assignments are not really included in the search, that is true, but that is also because they are not really variables (in the FlowCanvas sense of variables), neither are they nodes (which are included in the search). I could take a look at this possibility however, even though I can’t promise anything since that is a special case, meaning that you want to search for a value input port assignment, specifically only when a Unity Object is related. With that said, it’s been added to the TODO list for further consideration 🙂
Thanks!
