Users can sometimes get lost when viewing networks, particularly when charts are large. Lists and tables already have established sorting and filtering techniques, but networks can be harder to navigate.

A simple search box can be a great solution.

Once the item has been found, it is usually a good idea to select the item and then zoom or pan to it so the user can locate it quickly.

Advanced

This demo only searches for node labels. A more advanced search could iterate over custom data properties which you can hold on the d property of items.

Key functions used:

• chart.each
• chart.selection
