Nodecategory. Check this box and click a category on the list to search for a particular type of

node.

Process Node means a node from the Record Ops or Field Ops tab of the nodes palette;

Apply Model Node refers to a model nugget.

Keywordsinclude . Check this box and enter one or more comple te keywords to search for nodes

having that text in the Keywords ﬁeld on the Annotations tab of the node dialog box. Keyword

text that you enter must be an exact match. S eparate multiple keywords with semicolons to search

for alternatives (for example, entering proton;neutron will ﬁnd all nodes with either of these

keywords. For more information, see the topic A nnotations on p. 86.

Annotationcontains . Check this box and enter one or more words to search for nodes that contain

this text in the main text area on the Annotations tab of the node dialog box. Searches are not

case-sensitive, and multiple words are treated as a single piece of text. For more information,

see the topic Annotations on p. 86.

Generates field called. Check this box and enter th e name of a generated ﬁeld (for example,

$C-Drug). You can use this option to search for modeling nodes that generate a particular ﬁeld.

Enter only one ﬁeld name, which must be an exact match.

IDequals. Check this box and enter a node ID to search for a particular node with that identiﬁer

(selecting this option disables all the preceding options). Node IDs are assigned by the system

when the node is created, and can be used to reference the node for the purposes of scripting or

automation. Enter only one node ID, which must be an exact match. For more info rmation,

see the topic Annotations on p. 86.

Searchin SuperNo des. This box is checked by default, meaning that the search is perform ed on

nodes both inside and outside SuperNodes. Clear the box if you want to perform the search only

on nodes outside SuperNodes, at the top level of the stream.

Find. When you have speciﬁed all the options you want, click this button to start the search.

Nodes that match the speciﬁed options are listed in the lower part of the dialog box. Select a node

in the list to highlight it on the stream canvas.

Using the Annotations tab in the stream properties dialog box, you can add descriptive annotations

for a stream and create a custom name for the stream. These options are useful especially

when generating reports for streams added to the project pane. For more information, see the

topic Annotations on p. 86.

Stream Descriptions

For each stream that you create, IBM® SPSS® Modeler produces a stream description con taining

information on the contents of the stream. This can be useful if you are trying to see what a stre am

does but you do not have SPSS Modeler installed, for example when accessing a stream t hrough
