====== Search Box Syntax ======
//This pages details the syntax for the built-in search boxes, **not** the new Quick Search package.//

The search box exists in the Project tab and the Hierarchy tab. There are a few non-documented options that it supports.

Note: The glob syntax applies to asset paths, not asset names. 

===== Syntax =====
^ Search Term      ^ Matches ^
| * | Any number of any character |
| t:Type | All objects with the given type. Can search for components. ((The component name **must** be typed out in full))|
| l:Label| All assets with the given asset label.|
| glob:"<glob_text>" | Selects objects using a glob language.  See below. |

===== Unity Glob Language =====

Unity searches support globbing, but it seems to be a custom language.((https://forum.unity.com/threads/preset-manager-filters.880333/)) The glob syntax must be wrapped in quotes.


==== Glob Syntax ====

^ Syntax ^ What this matches ^
| * | Any number of any character |
| ? | Any single character |
| %%(X|Y|Z)%% | Any one of the strings X, Y, or Z |

The last "OR" syntax can be repurposed to also match against 'nothing':

^ Syntax ^ What this matches ^
| %%(|X|Y|Z)%% | Any one of the string X, Y, or Z, or nothing |
| %%Text(|_test).png%% | Either Text.png or Text_test.png |

==== Examples: ====
^ Syntax ^ What this matches ^
| %%MyTexture(|_)(|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9)(|0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9).*%% | Files with any extension starting with MyTexture. Optionally allows a number _0 to _99 |
