In Tigra Tree Menu PRO search functionality is already available via the API. In free version you can implement it on top of the existing script by looping through .a_index array and looking at each tree item.

here are the fragments of the Tigra Tree Menu PRO that provide the search functionality (may need adjustments for free version):

Code:

// find item by caption/link method
this.find_item = function (s_value, b_link) {
var a_items = [];
b_link = b_link?1:0;
for (var i = 0; i < this.a_index.length; i++)
if (this.a_index.a_config[b_link] == s_value) {
a_items[a_items.length] = this.a_index;
}
return a_items;
};
this.find_item_by_key = function (s_key, s_value) {
var a_items = [];
for (var i = 0; i < this.a_index.length; i++)
if (this.a_index.a_config[2][s_key] == s_value) {
a_items[a_items.length] = this.a_index;
}
return a_items;
};
this.find_item_by_state = function (n_mask) {
var a_items = [];
for (var i = 0; i < this.a_index.length; i++)
if (this.a_index.n_state & n_mask) {
a_items[a_items.length] = this.a_index;
}
return a_items;
};

where: "on top of the existing script"
how: "by looping through .a_index array and looking at each tree item"
I even provided the samples how PRO version does this.

I am just confused about why there are three different return statements? wouldnt just one suffice? my js skills are not that good, btw.

Those are three different methods of the tree (the names of the functions are pretty much self explanatory). BTW: It is not unusual even for single routine to have multiple exit points. Anyway, if you're not comfortable with the coding you should ask a friend to help you or just go for the PRO version of the tree.
