Description

### Current Behavior

In order to search for a specific dependency, I must manually iterate through and open all nodes in the dependency graph. For instance, I need to do this to determine the path through which a transitive dependency is included.

### Proposed Behavior

The Dependency Graph tab could incorporate a text or selection box where I can enter or choose the name of the component. Once I confirm the specific component I am searching for, the dependency graph would automatically open all paths to all occurrences of those nodes.

The Dependency Graph is frequently utilized as a reference tool to gain a deeper understanding of the routes through which transitive dependencies are incorporated. The ability to initiate the search from the dependency and trace it upstream significantly simplifies this process.
