Fast InScript Finder v1.0

Search Panel

This is your command center. Here, you define what you want to search for and how.

• Search For: The main field where you enter the text or Regex pattern you are looking for.
• Search Settings:
  • Search Mode: Switch between Simple Text (exact search) and Regex (advanced pattern search).
  • Case Sensitive: Check to differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters (e.g., "Player" vs "player").
  • Whole Word: Check to only search for full words (e.g., "Color" will not find "BackgroundColor").
• File Extensions: Quickly select which file types you want to include in the search.

Search Scope

Specify exactly where in your project you want to perform the search for faster, more relevant results.

• Include Folders: Drag folders here to limit the search to only those locations. If the list is empty, the entire Assets folder will be searched.
• Exclude Folders: Drag folders here to ignore them during the search. Ideal for excluding third-party libraries or generated code.
• Search in Packages: Extend the search to also include files from the Packages folder.

Results Panel

All found matches are displayed here in an interactive and easy-to-navigate format.

• Stats Header: See at a glance how many matches were found in how many files.
• Grouped Results: Each file with matches gets its own header. Left-click to expand/collapse the list and Right-click to ping the file in the Project window.
• Instant Navigation: Click on any result line to open the corresponding file in your code editor, directly at that line!
• Hover Effect: When you move your cursor over a result line, its color changes to indicate interactivity.
• Clear Results: A button to reset the search and clear the results window.

Q: The search is slow in my project. What can I do?
A: For maximum performance, try to narrow the search scope using "Include Folders" to target the system you are working on. Also, ensure "Search in Packages" is unchecked if you don't need to search there.

Q: Can I search in Scenes or Prefabs?
A: No. Fast InScript Finder specializes in searching the content of text-based files, such as C# scripts (.cs), shaders (.shader), JSON, XML files, etc. It does not scan the binary or serialized data within Scenes and Prefabs.
