It would be nice also if a search could be done for all the occurrences of a specific node (by node type _not_ the name given to it.). If it results that this already exists and I haven't found it I apologise, as I'm still learning.

Post moved to it's own topic, as original topic was relating to visual alerts after a search.

Enter `type:template` in the search. Also check other options in the drop down to the right of the search input. You can also do compound search like `type:template is:modified blahblah`
Click the drop-down to the right of the search box.

Thanks. As I suspected Node-red has most things like that configured and it was just a case of asking!
