Quick Search Settings

Setting:		Function:
Track the current selection in the quick search		Enable this setting to execute the SearchProvider.trackSelection callback each time the Quick Search selection changes. The callback pings Assets in the Project window or Hierarchy window, which can slow Quick Search navigation in large Projects.
Generate an asset preview thumbnail for found items		Enable this setting to display thumbnails for items that are currently visible in the results pane of the Quick Search window. When you disable this setting, Quick Search displays a generic icon. This is useful in large Projects, where generating icons can slow Quick Search navigation.
Provider Settings
	A [Provider Toggles]	Enable and disable providers. When you disable a provider, Quick Search ignores it when executing searches.
	B [Provider Order]	Use these settings to modify the order in which search items are shown on the screen. All items of a given priority appear before any lower priority items.
	C [Default Actions]	Use these settings to choose the default actions to execute when you select (for example, double-click) an item in the search results.
Reset Priorities		Resets all providers to their default on/off state and priority.
