2 weeks ago It should probably include some way to disambiguate nodes with same names, similar to how file browser does "recent" and "favorites".
Maybe in a tooltip or as dim text after the node's name?
Otherwise, it's hard to work with the results when your nodes don't have very distinct names, as is the case in your example screenshot.

Describe the project you are working on
A game in production
Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project
When searching a complicated scene tree, especially in the remote view it is difficult to get an overview of all the hits because it's always displayed in the tree and the tree is collapsed.
Searching for vbox here for example just shows the two parents that contain vboxes.
You have to expand all the nodes to see the found nodes and it's difficult to parse due to it being at different levels in the hierachy.
Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation
Add an option to the Scene inspector view to flatten the scene when searching.
Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams
An option like this.
which would result in a search like this:
If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?
This would be used often
Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?
This would help with general usability and make more sense to have built in.
