Search for Node pane

Use this pane to search for nodes that are in a diagram.

To open the Search for Node pane, click its title. The pane looks like this:

Visual Explain folds search terms to uppercase unless you specify that you want to perform a case-sensitive search.

You can search using regular expressions that use the following symbols:

The percent sign (%)
Represents a string of zero or more characters.
The underscore character (_)
Represents any single character.
The backslash character (\)
Represents an escape character.
You can also search among all nodes in a diagram or only those nodes with warning messages in their roll-over information. Such warnings look like the text in the bottom two rows of this roll-over information:
Figure 2. Warning in the roll-over information for a node
Warning in roll-over information

If your search returns results, double-click one of the results to select the corresponding node in the diagram.
