On the Windows version, it is possible to search through the Simulink Library Browser for a particular block.
I would like to do the same on the UNIX, Linux, and Mac platforms.

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
The ability to search through the Simulink Library Browser is not available on the UNIX, Linux, and Mac platforms for Simulink 5.0 (R13).
The workaround is to use the FIND_SYSTEM function by following these steps:
1. Open the Simulink Library by typing 'simulink' and make it the current system.
2. Execute the FIND_SYSTEM command with the -REGEXP option to search through the Simulink Library. For example, if you want to search for blocks that start with 'gain', you can execute the following command in the MATLAB Prompt:
find_system(gcs,'regexp','on','casesensitive','off','name','gain*')
