To use Search, do the following:
To open the Search window:
From the Unity menu:
Choose Edit > Search All.
Shortcut:
| Shortcut: | 功能： |
|---|---|
| Ctrl + K | Open Search in the state it was in the last time you used it. - The last search term you used appears in the search field. - The last changes you made to the filter configuration are still in effect. |
Tip: You can change the keyboard shortcuts used to launch Search from the Shortcuts Manager.
To perform regular or special searches, type a query into the search field.
For most search queries, using the Search All window and the default Asset index created with your project will find your content effectively.
A regular search uses all regular Search Providers unless you exclude them.
To perform a regular search using all active Search Providers, enter the search terms in the search field. Results appear as you type.
To only display results for a specific Search Provider, prefix the search terms with the Search Provider’s search token.
A search token is a text string that you can use in the search field to search using only a specific Search Provider.
Press the Tab key with your cursor in the Search field to view the regular search provider prefixes.
To mute Search Providers, see Persistent search filters
The following table lists regular Search Providers and their search tokens:

After you search, you can perform actions on the items Search returns in the Preview Inspector pane or through More Options (⋮) on the item in the result list. The actions you can perform depend on the type of item.
For example, if Search returns a package, you can install/uninstall it. If Search returns an Asset, you can select, open, or highlight it in the Hierarchy window.
To find out which actions you can perform on different types of items, see the pages for individual search filters in the Regular searches and Special searches sections.
Every type of item has a default action.
To perform the default action for an item do one of the following:
Note: You can edit the default actions in the Search section of the Preferences page.
Some items support additional actions that you access from the Preview Inspector menu.
To access the additional actions context menu for an item, do one of the following:
You can also use the following shortcuts to perform additional actions on a selected item without opening the contextual menu:
| Shortcut: | 功能： |
|---|---|
| Alt + Enter | Second action |
| Alt + Ctrl + Enter | Third action |
| Alt + Ctrl + Shift + Enter | Fourth action |
Some Search Providers (for example, the Asset and Scene providers) support drag and drop actions. You can drag items from the results area to any part of Unity that supports them, for example, the Hierarchy window, the Scene view, or the Inspector.
