A ComfyUI extension that allows you to find and locate nodes by their ID, title, pack, or type in complex workflows.
ComfyUI reports Node-IDs when it encounters errors, but there's no built-in tool to find those Node-IDs quickly. That's now solved with this custom node/tool.
Ever had this in the console? ComfyUI telling you the Node-ID it got stuck on?
Or this:
On a large workflow that means you will be spending a fair amount of time digging around the workflow canvas...
On top of that, Node-ID's are not visible by default. You have to switch them on in the ComfyUI settings.
Well - Here's the solution!
Simply:
- Open AF - Find Nodes (
Ctrl+Shift+F) - Type
2170and press Enter - Instantly locate the problematic node! .. Because the AF - Find Nodes extension will zoom in on the node and highlight it.
Plus it also let's you reverse engineer the Node-ID by activating the "Inspector", which will display the Node-ID.
The AF - FInd Nodes custom node can find nodes by "ID", "Title", and has experimental features that might even help you mitigate redundant node packs installed!
Give it a try - you will not be able to live without it!
BIG FAT WARNING: Currently Subgraph searching is NOT supported.
The extension now features a tabbed interface with four search modes:
- Enter any Node-ID to instantly locate and highlight it
- Auto-centers the canvas on the found node
- Perfect for debugging when error messages reference specific Node-IDs
- Search nodes by their title, color, cnr_id, aux_id, or name
- Finds nodes based on your custom naming and organization
- Real-time search as you type (searches after 2+ characters)
- Search for all nodes from a specific pack/extension
- Examples: "rgthree", "WAS", "efficiency", "controlnet"
- Includes smart alias matching (e.g., "easy" finds "EasyUse")
- Search by node type/class name
- Examples: "KSampler", "CLIPTextEncode", "LoadImage"
- Useful for finding all instances of a specific node type
- View comprehensive workflow statistics and analytics
- See top custom packs ranked with medals (🥇🥈🥉)

The "By Pack" and "By Type" search modes are marked as experimental because:
- Different node packs use varying conventions for storing metadata
- Pack information may not always be consistently available
- Some nodes may not be correctly identified by their pack
- Results may include false positives or miss some nodes
These features work best with well-structured node packs but may produce unexpected results with others.
This extension does not currently support searching within subgraphs or nested workflows.
- Works with all ComfyUI workflows
- Compatible with custom nodes
- No dependencies on other extensions
- Pure JavaScript implementation
- Tested with ComfyUI v0.0.04+
