CloseAllows a user to register a custom Indexing function for a specific type.
When you have special properties you would like to index for an asset or a Unity Object, Unity suggests Writing a custom indexer routine . The newly indexed words or properties will allow the user to search for them using the Search Query Language. The registered function must be of type: static void MyCustomIndexer(CustomObjectIndexerTarget context, ObjectIndexer indexer);
See ObjectIndexer for the various methods you can invoke on indexer
.
The CustomObjectIndexerTarget context
argument can be used to access additional information about what is about to be indexed.
[CustomObjectIndexer(typeof(Material))] internal static void MaterialShaderReferences(CustomObjectIndexerTarget context, ObjectIndexer indexer) { var material = context.target as Material; if (material == null) return;
if (material.shader) { var fullShaderName = material.shader.name.ToLowerInvariant(); var shortShaderName = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullShaderName); indexer.AddProperty("ref", shortShaderName, context.documentIndex); indexer.AddProperty("ref", fullShaderName, context.documentIndex); } }
type | Each time an object of a specific type is indexed, the registered function is called. |
version | Version of the custom indexer. Increment this number to have the indexer re-index the indexes. |
CustomObjectIndexerAttribute | Register a new Indexing function bound to the specific type. |
