Title:
  It should be possible to search the object tree recursively starting
  from a given node

Status in Autopilot:
  Fix Released
Status in autopilot package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in autopilot source package in Raring:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  There are two main functions used in autopilot to search for objects:

  - select_single()
  - get_children_by_type()

  select_single() does recursion, but it always searches the whole tree.
  get_children_by_type() starts at the given node, but does not recurse.

  In my opinion all object search methods should be capable to recurse
  starting from a certain node. It would be very useful to be able to
  call select_single() on a node to search a child node. Especially with
  QML that would ease things up a lot. Also, it'd be useful to get a
  nodes children by type, but recursing.

  This has been the very first thing I missed in autopilot and every
  developer I introduced to autopilot asked this as the very first
  question (after setting up the environment)

  Adding this should not remove the possibility to only search for
  direct children without recursion as that is sometimes needed as well.
