Search/Find

To find the occurrence of some text in the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_active_window.htm');return false;">active net, choose Edit → Find and enter the search text. Netica will search node names, titles, state names and comments for the text.

When Netica finds a node containing the search text it will scroll the window to that node and select the node.  To find the next node containing the text, use Edit → Find Next (or press the f3 key).  Edit → Find All will select all the nodes containing the text.

You may only be interested in the occurrence of the search text in one type of field; say you are looking for the node with a certain name.  As Netica finds each occurrence of the search text, it prints in the = 4 && typeof(BSPSPopupOnMouseOver) == 'function') BSPSPopupOnMouseOver(event);" class="BSSCPopup" onclick="BSSCPopup('X_PU_Messages_window.htm');return false;">Messages window where it found the text.  For example, it might print: "heavy pressure" found in comment of node Depth.  So you can just watch the Messages window until you see that Netica found the text in a node name.

Tips:

•   If you want to easily select a certain subset of nodes, you can give them a keyword, say "$Unfinished", by putting that keyword in the description of each of them.  Whenever you want to select them just do an Edit → Find on "$Unfinished", and then do Edit → Find All.  It is good to precede keywords with some special symbol, like ‘$’, so the search can’t be confused by node titles, state names, etc., and you will remember it is being used as a keyword.  However, usually a better method to work with sets of nodes is to node-sets and select them based on their node-set names.

•   You can make a printed list of all the nodes containing certain text, by first doing a Find All search on that text, then with the nodes still selected, choose Report → List of Selected.   More Info
