Requesting new feature. When I have added new custom event or made a variable, then i would like to search those nodes from same blueprint by making node active and pressing ctrl+f. It would open new search window and prefill search window with my variable’s name. By pressing enter search will start.
Automatically starting search would also be nice, but when i accidentally click on node i don’t want to search, it would just waste my time. I would not be much problem to me personally, but it would be headache for beginners.

EX; I’m making blueprint variable “MyVariable” and i’m using this variable inside my blueprint as get variable node. Now i’m using it more than one place and instead of pressing ctrl-f and writing that variable name, it will be prefilled. I have to press enter to start search.

EDIT: Added more details.

just drag off of the node, it creates a context sensitive search. course that may not be what your looking for but your question isnt very descriptive.

I think what you want might already exist as “Find References” (hotkey alt+shift+f, same as visual assist). You can search by selecting the variable in the variables category or on the node in the blueprint graph and then pressing the shortcut or rightclicking on the node and choosing find references.
