search_models
Search the downloadable model catalog to find checkpoints, LoRAs, VAEs, controlnets, and upscalers not yet installed. Filter by keyword and model type; each result indicates installation status.
Instructions
Search the downloadable model catalog — find checkpoints/LoRAs/VAEs/ controlnets/upscalers you may NOT have installed yet (the local equivalent of the cloud's model search). Reads ComfyUI-Manager's model list; each result shows whether it's already installed on THIS box.
Filter by keyword (name/filename/base/description) and optional model_type (checkpoint, lora, vae, controlnet, upscale, clip, diffusion_model, ...). Install one with install_model(name). Requires ComfyUI-Manager on the host.
This is a catalog of known models; list_models shows what a specific loader currently offers on disk (ground truth). Discover here, then verify against list_models after installing.
