We often have to trace our way through large workbenches that have a lot of useful annotations. It would be great to be able to search these user/summary annotations. This would be really useful for workbenches with FMEServerJobSubmitters/WorkspaceRunners as the workbench names are in annotations and would then be easier to locate.

As a workaround we have been renaming transformers to end with job names as an easy way to find them but it seems like more people use annotations to store this information.

It is possible to use the "Workspace Search" at the bottom of the navigation window. The search results are sorted by Annotations, Transformer Names, Parameter Names, etc.

 

For example, iIn the screenshot below, I searched for the word "Temporary".
