(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/search.html">http://shape.cs.princeton.edu/search.html</a>) does not say, but I
suspect that their database is rather outdated now because they
don't have recent formats (sketch-up, FBX, glTF). I am not sure
that the engine would be of much use. The research work they are
doing might be, but it does not appear to be publicly implemented
at this time.</div>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I don't think a scene graph would be a
good way to go. The same visual model may be represented in
significantly different scene graphs. I still my original
suggestion of keyword and/or image search would be best.</div>

won’t be confused by colors.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I think the Princeton site will be perfect
if I can get it going with Java or OpenJDK. I am looking for
a more up-to-date site, without the dependency of installing
Java (and Oracle’s new license). Thus I am looking for an
OpenJDK browser plugin for Chrome (or other) on Windows 10. I
don’t really want to step down a rabbit hole.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I’m now guessing I should be looking at either semantic
network search or social network search for a potential
solution.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Not sure what you are trying to do here
John. All good websites will supply sufficient meta-tags for
the model to allow a search by text. If you are trying to find
a model based on the look of one you have, try using a screen
shot. Google's image search is pretty good.<o:p></o:p></p>
