Declaration

public static Search.SearchMonitorView GetView(bool delayedSync);

Parameters

delayedSync Boolean indicating if the sync between views should only happen when the view is disposed, or for every operation. Default is false.

Returns

SearchMonitorView A SearchMonitorView.

Description

Returns a SearchMonitorView to access Search's main PropertyDatabases.

Multiple nested calls to GetView are supported. If those calls are on the same thread, it will return the same instance to avoid opening and closing new views. If the calls are on different threads, new views will be opened. Here is an example of a custom Scene SearchProvider using GetView to cache data in Search's main PropertyDatabases to increase search speed:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.Search;
using UnityEngine;

static class CustomSceneProvider
{
    const string k_ProviderId = "customSceneProvider";

    static QueryEngine<GameObject> s_QueryEngine;

    [SearchItemProvider]
    public static SearchProvider CreateSearchProvider()
    {
        return new SearchProvider(k_ProviderId, "Custom Scene")
        {
            filterId = "csp:",
            isExplicitProvider = true,
            fetchItems = (context, items, provider) => FetchItems(context, provider),
            onEnable = OnEnable
        };
    }

    static void OnEnable()
    {
        s_QueryEngine = new QueryEngine<GameObject>(true);
        s_QueryEngine.SetSearchDataCallback(go => new []{ go.name });
        s_QueryEngine.AddFilter("p", OnPropertyFilter, s => s, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase);

        // Setup all the SearchValue handlers.
        SearchValue.SetupEngine(s_QueryEngine);
    }

    static IEnumerable<SearchItem> FetchItems(SearchContext context, SearchProvider provider)
    {
        // Parse the search query.
        var query = s_QueryEngine.ParseQuery(context.searchQuery);
        if (query == null)
            yield break;

        // If there are any errors, report them.
        if (!query.valid)
        {
            foreach (var queryError in query.errors)
            {
                context.AddSearchQueryError(new SearchQueryError(queryError, context, provider));
            }
            yield break;
        }

        // Open a view on Search's main PropertyDatabases for the duration of the search. By opening
        // a view here, it reduces the time spent opening new views for each game object we filter in OnPropertyFilter.

                var instanceId = filteredObject.GetHashCode();
                yield return provider.CreateItem(context, instanceId.ToString(), ~instanceId, filteredObject.name, null, null, null);
