Find tool #32

Closed frostyfan109 closed 5 years ago

frostyfan109 commented 5 years ago

A tool (maybe similar to control-f) that allows for you to search for an element by type or name (or maybe any attribute that is found in the object viewer). It would present a list of nodes/links that match a given regex which you can then look through. Also, it could allow for the use of tools on this list, so that, for example, one could use the navigate or highlight tool on an element in the list to quickly find it. There could also be something such as a button that filters everything except it.

Also, we could add some custom expressions for things like searching for specific node pairs (e.g. chemical_substance<->disease or something).

This has been added, but it is kind of user unfriendly. We could possibly add code suggestions (like autocomplete) where it shows you what options you have. Also, there should be lots of example queries and documentation for it.

The find tool should have a little button that allows you to hide all the results or something.
