Finder in Detail

CtrlF opens the Finder window. If you want to open additional Finder windows press CtrlShiftF.

Search is tag-based. Type more tags (separated by space) to refine your search.

Additionally the following 1-character tags allow you to do some quick filtering. Note that all those tags come into effect only when followed by a space.

note:
It's not necessary to click on the text field, its active as soon as the finder window is active. Only hover over the text field if you want to see the tag list.

Search Scope

By default only nodes in the active patch are searched. Via the following tags you can expand the scope:
< - search globally in the whole graph
> - search in patches downstream of the active patch
