In-Result Search Should Highlight Search Results In Graph View

[lbrauns]

Feature Description:

When searching for an object on the graph and clicking on the search result, the object should be highlighted in the graph view.

Current Behavior:

Clicking on a search result only opens the detail box for the object.

Desired Behavior:

The highlights the search result in the graph or zooms to the object in the graph.

Use Case:

This will be especially useful in graphs like this (shortest path to domain admins):

It's also a nice example why #89 would be really nice to have ;)

Hi @lbrauns - the current functionality is that the object is highlighted, please see:

We can modify the request to additionally zoom in on the object if you like?

Fair point... Unfortunately the highlighting is just not prominent enough in a bigger graph.

So the highlighting should be more prominent at least. Zooming to the node would be IMHO the better solution. Maybe a threshold of nodes in the graph could be used to distinguish, if the node should be highlighted or zoomed into.
