Faster Access to Node Submodes

Complicated title simple idea:

In the shader editor: when you search for "multiply" for example you'll get a math node that is already set to mulitply, same thing for all of the submodes. When two have the same name ("add" is both in MixRGB and Math) you get both in the search results

Node editor, looking for 'Fog Glow' is another good example... I imagine not everyone remembers it's in the Glare node...

Sounds like a useful feature, but to be fair, Blender's architecture allows for nodes that have multiple layers of submodes (ex: a Principled node where you can also pick the sss type). That would make the search process pretty difficult to program.
