.. _auto_curves_search_by_name:

*CURVES SEARCH BY NAME*
=======================

Filters a group of curves by matching their names against a search string using a configurable match strategy (exact, contains, starts/ends with, excludes, etc.). Use this worker to isolate one or more named curves from a larger curve collection before downstream processing.

When to use
-----------

Classification: **process**.

Tagged: ``curve``, ``curve_group``, ``filter``, ``name``, ``search``.

Inputs
------

.. list-table::
   :header-rows: 1
   :widths: 20 20 20 20 20 20

   * - Label
     - ID
     - Type
     - Default
     - Required
     - Description
   * - Curves
     - curves
     - vector
     - —
     - 
     - Input curve group (vector of curves) to search through; accepts multiple curves and can be left empty if no upstream curves are available.
   * - Name
     - name
     - string
     - —
     - 
     - The search string to match against curve names; leave empty to return all curves when no filtering is needed.
   * - Search Type
     - search_type
     - string
     - eq
     - 
     - Match strategy applied to the name search: 'eq' (exact match), 'contains', 'starts_with', 'not_starts_with', 'ends_with', 'not_ends_with', or 'excludes'; defaults to 'eq'.
