i hope that the node editor somehow change or gets a search option - as it is now, when i open an existing model and want to edit a material - millions (well a lot) of nodes is displayed in a huge 'tree', and it is almost impossible to find the matrial.

I can't check right now, but there is ctrl+f in the node graph for Octane. I'm not sure this is exposed in the plugin right now.
What we'd like to do is to allow picking directly in the viewport, and then selecting the material automatically.
The material node graph will soon be static, meaning that your changes in positioning of the nodes will also be persistent - this should help in organising the materials into groups, etc.
Perhaps at some point we can also look at some sort of layered node graph, or simply group material nodes together when they are grouped inside sketchup. It's too soon to tell though, but we're getting there.
