So I have a group of bones in my scene with the prefix "master_"

I know how to search for the bones, and that highlights them, but then I have to manually click on all of them to actually select them as a group.

Is there a way to actually just properly select all the bones that you've found through search?

I don't want to use a saved selection, this is something I would like to do for random selections I don't generally need to grab all at once, so a saved selection isn't really useful as I might not even need to select them all a second time.

Yep! Sounds like you want ctrl+enter, which selects all matching items. The name of that hotkey in your hotkeys file is Search - Select All.

Couple more tips:

  • enter when the search text box is NOT selected will select the text box. So you can always press enter and then type your search.

  • enter when the search text box IS selected selects a result and you can press it multiple times to go to the next results.

  • shift+enter does the same but in the reverse direction.

  • escape clears the text search.

  • Checking Text search filters makes the tree show only the results.

  • You can search with regex, eg /.*abc/ finds anything ending with "abc".
