Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the flowgraph view and the existing console bindings, then determine whether keyword search and navigation belong together or whether current_basic_block/current_graph bindings are a separate workaround. Done means a user can search a large flowgraph and navigate to matching text tokens, with any agreed console bindings documented and tested.

Description

Component: UI Effort: Medium Impact: Low UI: Graph

I have a very large flowgraph with a lot of text tokens in it, and I want to be able to search for a keyword and be navigated to it.

Tangentially, mapping the current flow graph basic block to current_basic_block in the console would be nice. With similar bindings (maybe add current_graph) I could mostly work around the issue above.

Not sure of what the effort label should be.
