I have been trying to use the dagre-layout in cytoscape.js to create a graph, however I seem unable to find the text within nodes, which I am able to do in dagre-d3, (EDIT: Find as in CTRL + F).
It seems like even in demos such as: http://js.cytoscape.org/demos/labels/ this is not available.
Any ideas on how to make it possible?
When working with Cytoscape, you're not working with traditional DOM elements for the nodes and edges. Rather it draws on a canvas. So are you screwed?
Nope. You just need to program a bit. Add a text box to your page. Add an on change listener to it (or add a button to search only when the user clicks it). When the user types, you can run a search that reads through all of the nodes in the graph. For speed you might want to implement a binary search based on the node's text.
When you find text that matches (exact or partial), you can add a class to change the visual appearance using Cytoscape.js' addClass method. You decision of how to show the data is up to you.
