Modell-Suche in Package-Branch
The Enterprise Architect model repository is a database. Databases can be easily queried with SQL. This results in a wealth of possibilities. A minor problem is recursions! See this blog article.
The structure in the ProjectBrowser – the model tree – corresponds to a parentID, which is stored in the line of the child. To create a recursive query here, we need recursive SQL, which supports some databases.

Nach Attributen und Assoziationsenden (RollenNamen) suchen
Nach Attributen und Assoziationsenden (Rollen Namen) suchen.
Vor allem in größeren Modellen stelle ich mir oft die Frage, ob es ein bestimmtes Attribut gibt und in welchem Classifier (z. B. Klasse oder Komponente) es vorhanden ist.
Ach Assoziationsenden, also der Rollen Name entspricht eigentlich einem Attribut.

Alle gleichnamigen Elemente eines Paketes finden
Der EA erlaubt es, dass zwei Modellelemente in einem Paket denselben Namen haben.
Nach UML ist dies nicht erlaubt. Aus pragmatischen Gründen ist es aber oft sinnvoll in einem Paket zwei Elemente mit gleichem Namen zu halten.
