Reverse-search for all references to an asset. Super useful, with ultra-fast near-instant results.Verified compatible through Unity 6This tool relies on ripgrep for its speed, a freely downloadable command-line tool available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Get it from: https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep#installationDiscord Support | Forum | EmailFind References To Asset is a lite editor tool that performs a reverse search, finding all references to a specified asset. It's simple to use, supports finding multiple assets simultaneously, and super fast with near-instant results even on massive projects!This tool may be your single most-often used tool once you have it, particularly for developers and artists. It's extraordinarily useful for debugging, tracking how assets are used, or if they're unused even.FeaturesUltra-fast, near-instant resultsAuto-search selected asset on openSupport for searching multiple assets simultaneouslyOption to exclude assets not in the buildClick on search results to quickly ping the assetSearch for previous results to recursively look up ancestor referencesNote: This tool relies on ripgrep for its ultra speed (up to 10x faster than grep), a freely downloadable command-line tool available on Mac, Windows, and Linux. ripgrep is so fast, there is no need for indexing or caching files like alternative search solutions.That's it, I hope you love it!It's unbelievable that a tool as useful and convenient as this is not included in Unity. Once you have this, it is absolutely indispensable.*Note that this reverse asset search is NOT replicable with any built-in Unity methods or search functionality, as this kind of search is very difficult to do efficiently without tools like ripgrep.Discord Support | Forum | EmailThis tool functions by doing a full GUID search on all assets using ripgrep. The results are 100% accurate on all asset types to the extent of my testing and knowledge, and has been battle-tested on real projects. While this is normally a highly intensive search process and can take 20-30 seconds on larger projects using conventional search tools like grep, the speed of ripgrep cuts the search speed down by 10x such that the results are near-instant.
