Blender 2.5 Search Menu
If you’re anything like me, you probably have hundreds of materials and objects in your scene that easily get lost. Or you can’t really find that tool that you’re looking for. Fear no more! Today’s Blender 2.5 Featured Feature is the new “Search” tool.
There are several ways to access Search. The more noticeable way is the new addition of the Search field in the User Preferences window header. Search works by simply typing what you’re looking for, and the live search finds exactly what you need as you type. It also displays the hot-key command for each tool. This is the perfect way to find the second way to access Search. Simply type “Search” into the Search field and you’ll find that it can be invoked by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F. This will bring up a menu at your cursor’s location.
Search is also being worked into other parts of Blender too. Have hundreds of materials to hunt through in your project? Search is now integrated into the Material settings, so you can easily find the one you need.
The Search feature is one of the many new features shipping with Blender 2.5. Each day I will be featuring another Blender 2.5 Featured Feature, here at www.bchynds.com.
