At the top of the Node Library is a search bar. When you type in a search phrase, matching nodes will show up in the Node Library. Pressing ⎋ while in the search bar will clear out your selection and show the entire Node Library, as will deleting your search term by pressing ⌫.
You can search by node title, node class name, and a variety of keywords:

The search finds all nodes that match on the title or class name or keyword. For example, if you search for filter, the results include Filter Note (which has filter in the title and class name), Allow First Event (which has filter as a keyword), and Adjust Image Colors (which is an image filter). If you wanted to narrow the search to nodes like the last one, you could search for image filter.
If the search doesn’t find a node that you expect to see:
Make sure you’re using a version of Vuo that has the node.
If the node was recently added, make sure you’re using the latest version of Vuo.
If the node has been deprecated, instead use the node that is meant to replace it.
If the node is a Pro node, make sure you’ve activated Vuo Pro.
If the node is a subcomposition or a community node, review the steps for installing a node.
