    Special searches

    Special searches use opt-in Search Providers that Quick Search ignores unless you explicitly use them. Special searches differ from regular searches in the following ways:

    • You can only execute a special search using its search token.
    • You cannot combine a special search with any other Search Provider.
    • You cannot toggle a special Search Provider on and off in the Filters pane. However, you can disable Special Searches from the Quick Search Preferences.

    To perform a special search, prefix your search query with the provider's search token.

    Quick search has the following special Search Providers:

    Provider: Function: Search token: Example:
    Calculator Computes mathematical expressions. = =2*3+29/2

    Calculates the answer to the expression 2*3+29/2.
    Command Query Searches for items that support a specific command. > >select

    Searches for Scene items that you can select.
    Help Searches the Quick Search help. ? ?asset

    Searches for Quick Search help entries containing the word "Asset".
    Resource Searches for loaded resources. res: + optional sub-filter res: t: texture

    Searches all loaded resources, and returns Texture type resources only.
    Static API Method Finds and executes static API methods. # #Mesh
