When I am searching for a node in the "Node ID" box, it appears that some text searching is being done as I can search via the long name or short name of a node--seemingly by prefix. However, if a node is named "Tree node #5: Michael's house" and I search "Michael", I don't get results. SQLite has FTS capability that would allow for a lot fuzzier searching for node names, e.g. prefix, substring, singular/plural, synonyms, .etc. It would be nice to allow these types of search for nodes.
