Presets are important to work fast and smoother, houdini has the best search node system, please do the same for the attribute wrangle presets, it s actually very annoying to scroll and look each line and each time a long list of wrangles i have already built to find the ones im interested..

Am i alone to find it annoying?
Did i missed something ?

Thanks guys

Log it as a RFE

see https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/15603/ [www.sidefx.com]

from where this is copied:
Posting to the forums is NOT how you should log bugs. They aren't tracked by Support or QA and there's no guarantee that anyone from SideFX will see it. Sometimes a SideFX person may be lurking in the forums and may even respond, but don't count on it. The forums are really for peer support and questions of other users. We have a great bunch of really helpful and knowledgeable users out there and they may help you out, but if you have an issue that needs attention from someone at SideFX, posting it in the forums is definitely not the way to go about it. If you have a BUG or an RFE, you should use option 1, 2, or 3 to let us know.

Hi Vincent, I made this “tool” for myself:
https://streamable.com/06r871 [streamable.com]

It is a python script, which goes through my VEX library and creates Shelf Tool for each vex snippet. The Shelf tool (searchable in the Tab menu) creates new wrangle. It is a bit cumbersome. If you RFE any search tag system, please post the RFE ID here, I will gladly vote for it too.

Hi Vincent, no mention of new editor in 18.5 sneak peek, but this looks nice:
