Node Finder — NELSIG Node Graph Tools

Overview

Node Finder lets you search through every node in your Nuke script and jump to it instantly. Ideal for large scripts where scrolling through the DAG becomes impractical.

Note: The Node Finder is still in early development and may receive significant improvements in future versions. Feedback and feature requests are welcome!

Fuzzy Search

Start typing to search. The finder uses fuzzy matching so you do not need to type the exact node name. For example, typing grde will match Grade1, Grade_bg, and similar names. Results are ranked by match quality with the best matches at the top.

Filter Modes

Use the filter buttons to restrict which node properties are searched:

Filter	Searches
All	Name, class, and label simultaneously
Name	Node name only (e.g. `Grade1`)
Class	Node class only (e.g. `Grade`, `Merge2`)
Label	Node label text only
Disabled	Shows only disabled nodes

Groups

The search lists nodes that belong to groups, but navigation into groups is not yet supported. This is a known limitation that will be addressed in a future update.

Interactions

Single click — Select the node in the DAG and center the view on it.
Double click — Select the node and open its properties panel.
Right-click — Context menu: zoom to node, open in Edit Similar.
