incompatible types: Node cannot be converted to Tab

I am trying to get a Tab from my application like this:

searchTab = (Tab)scene.lookup("#searchTab");

But I am getting this error:

incompatible types: Node cannot be converted to Tab

Both of these work:

settingsButton = (Button)scene.lookup("#settingsButton");
searchBox = (AnchorPane)scene.lookup("#searchBox");

It works with all other types of components, why isn't it working with Tab?

To get the tab, I am able to use getTabs() and then select the tab id with get()

This example demonstrates that:

tabPane = (TabPane)scene.lookup("#tabPane");
tabPane.getTabs().get(0).setGraphic(searchiv);

Tab is not Node (doesn't extends it anyway), so you cannot convert it. To say, what is actual type of searchTab, output searchTab.getClass().getName() in runtime.
