Description

There's a conflict between the rules of the CopyPasteGraph and the search providers. If I hide nodes from DefaultSearchProvider, e.g. by tagging them as something not in a Graph's [IncludeTags], the CopyPasteGraph will also exclude these nodes when reapplying them onto the graph. So all copy/paste/duplicate operations don't work.

I'd like to be able to denote that a node is hidden from the default search provider but can still be used on a graph, preferably by not just giving it a tag that isn't in [IncludeTags].

Research direction

Start by tracing the CopyPasteGraph and DefaultSearchProvider entry points to compare how nodes are filtered. The change is complete when nodes hidden from the default search provider can still be copied, pasted, and duplicated on a graph without changing normal search results.
