Searching for Nodes
With 20+ node types spanning 8 categories, the search box is the fastest way to find what you need. Type a word and the palette filters instantly — no categories to browse.
Using the Search Box
The search box appears at the top of the palette drawer. Click it or press / (with canvas focus) to jump to it. As you type:
- Results filter in real time — no need to press Enter
- Category headers collapse for categories with no matches
- Matching characters in node names are highlighted in accent colour
- Clear the search with Escape or the X button
What the Search Matches Against
| Field | Example Match |
|---|---|
| Display name | "http" matches "HTTP Request" |
| Type code | "mysql" matches "mysql-query" |
| Description | "email" matches "send-email" and "form-trigger" (if form accepts email) |
| Category | "ai" matches all AI category nodes |
| Tags | Node types can have custom tags added by admins |
Search Algorithm
The search uses fuzzy matching (not exact string matching). This means:
- "eml" matches "email"
- "slk" matches "slack-message"
- "http req" matches "HTTP Request"
- Case-insensitive
Favourites
Star any node to add it to your personal Favourites section at the top of the palette. Favourites are:
- Stored per-user in browser localStorage
- Always visible when the palette opens (no search needed)
- Shown in the Favourites section above all categories
- Draggable to the canvas from the Favourites section
Click the star icon on a node card to add or remove it from Favourites.
Recent Nodes
The palette also tracks the last 5 nodes you dragged onto the canvas and displays them in a "Recent" section just below Favourites. This makes it fast to repeat the same node type without searching.
