That's because no call to that function is generated without the %template 
line.  It has nothing to with the way SWIG names things.

Because it doesn't exist.

Inspection reveals an apparent bug in your C++ that would produce 
precisely that compiler error: searchNodeWithId is called with a string as 
its second argument, but no such signature exists.  You'll have to work 
out what's going on with your C++.
