Find+ 0.4.0 — first public test release

Find+ is an experimental advanced-search sidebar for the Node-RED editor.

This first public release provides:

• exact-number search, so num:810 does not match 1810 or 8100;
• case-sensitive and whole-word search;
• regular expressions;
• current-flow, configuration-node and type:... filters;
• matching property and line-number information;
• a Show action that reveals a node without closing Find+;
• light and dark theme support.

For Node-RED 4.1.x, Find+ also provides an optional guard that prevents the built-in search from moving the workspace merely when the pointer passes over a result. Node-RED 5 already changed that behaviour, so the guard leaves the updated search interface alone.

Compatibility verified

• Node-RED 4.1.11
• Node-RED 5.0.1

Installation

Download the attached node-red-plugin-advanced-search-0.4.0.tgz file, then run:

cd ~/.node-red
npm install ~/Downloads/node-red-plugin-advanced-search-0.4.0.tgz

Replace ~/Downloads/ with the actual directory containing the downloaded file.

Restart Node-RED:

node-red-restart

or, depending on the installation:

sudo systemctl restart nodered

Reload the editor with Ctrl+F5. A Find+ tab should appear in the sidebar.

This is an experimental first public release. Please report reproducible problems through GitHub Issues and include the Node-RED, Node.js and browser versions.
