Materials do not show up in quick search

Materials aren’t showing up in quick search for some reason. They CAN be found if they search for them in the MAT Library search but not quick search.
I am using:
InstaMAT Studio 2024 Early Access 3 v1.5 (build Mar 1 2024 12:58:37 RELEASE) 8147ebd

Hello @vegdude, and welcome to our community!

The Quick Search feature is a useful tool for quickly locating nodes as you build your graph. Materials, which are typically completed projects, are not usually referenced in other projects. The built-in MAT Library contains around a thousand materials, and including them in the Quick Search can make it more difficult to find the non-material nodes you need.

If you’d like to see materials in the Quick Search, you can change the default behavior in the Preferences. Simply navigate to Edit > Preferences, and on the Canvas tab, activate the option to Show Materials in Quick Search.

I hope this helps clarify things! If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thanks!
