Search for references, dependencies, and properties

The Unity Editor’s search mechanism supports some searches outside of the Search window. You can search for assets with matching properties, references to an asset in the scene or project, and dependencies on an asset.

Find properties

To find assets with matching properties:

1. Open your asset in the Inspector window.

2. Right-click on the property > Search Same Property Value.

   The Search window opens with a matching query.

Find references

To find asset references:

1. Open your asset in the Project window.
2. Right-click on the asset and select an option:
   • To perform a quick search in the Hierarchy window, select Find Reference in Scene.
   • To open the Search window with a matching query, select Find Reference in Project.

Find dependencies

To find and select assets that depend on a selected asset:

1. Open your asset in the Project window.

2. Right-click on the asset > Select Dependencies.

   The Project window lists all dependencies, already selected.
