`hou.Node.type().name()` returns name of type of given node

best way to find all instances of given node it’s hou.NodeType instances

so eg to find all instances of mantra node: “`python hou.nodeType(hou.ropNodeTypeCategory(), ‘ifd’).instances() “`

other useful thing about searching nodes is that we have access to build in search framework(one that appears after ctr+f)

it’s in the packages called nodesearch at `$HFS/houdini/python2.7libs/nodesearch`
