The search feature in the node browser is incredibly powerful.

But it would be even more powerful if there was a way to easily select ALL the instances of something that the search had found. Possibly something like this exists but I have not yet discovered it. This would be very handy when trying to change a property on all of the instances of something on a page.

I tried using the Select All command but it did not work.

Did you try right-click, select similar?

@dan Aah! I did not try that, I suspected there was a way to do this as I vaguely remember seeing you doing it in a video way back. Thanks for reminding me. Great shortcut.

Phew, glad it’s a feature that we’ve already implemented 😂
