Super Newbie Question about Search

Aibynn

My apologies, I'm sure this is very simple but my retarded brain is struggling.

I'm looking at a colleagues rapid miner file, which is quite large. I'm trying to find certain operators (I think that's the correct term)... such as Filters that he has called things like "Filter All XXX" where XXX is a name.

That operator might be buried 8 levels deep in subprocesses, and finding it a time consuming process. The global search doesn't seem to return anything I'm finding useful.

How do I locate it quickly?

Cheers!

Hi!

A better manual method is looking at the tree view of your process. (View menu => Show Panel => Tree)

But it might be easier to open the XML view (View => Show Panel => XML), copy everything into the editor of your choice, and find the operators there. This is also a good approach for making global changes in some situations, e. g. changing parameter values like connection names globally. But of course you have to be very careful to preserve the XML structure.

Thanks for your response.

I'm a bit surprised there isn't a way to find something by name, but I understand your option. I just built a quick script to pull everything out of the XML file and traverse it backwards and print everything out, kind of with a tree view so I can find things easily.

Thanks again!
