| filter | The filter string can contain search data for: names, asset labels and types (class names). |
| searchInFolders | Specifying one or more folders will limit the searching to these folders and their child folders (and is faster than searching all assets). |
string[] Array of matching asset GUIDs.
Search the asset database using a search filter string.
You can search for names, lables and types (classnames).
'name': filter assets by their filename (without extension). Words separated by whitespace are treated as separate name searches. Use quotes for grouping multiple words into a single search.
'labels': Use the keyword 'l'. Filtering by more than one label will return assets if just one asset label is matched (OR'ed)
'types': Use the keyword 't'. Filtering by more than one type will return assets if just one type is matched (OR'ed). Types can be either builtin types e.g 'Texture2D' or user script class names. If all assets are wanted: use 'Object' as all assets derive from Object.
Searching is case insensitive
Use AssetDatabase.GUIDToAssetPath to get assetpaths and e.g AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath to load an asset.
