    Fuzzy search all over the place would be very helpful.

    For example, in the Animation window, I usually know which child object I want to edit by name, but when it's a great-great-grandchild I have to unfurl child-by-child to find the result, then select the transform then edit. It would be much faster if I could just type "foot" or "foot transform" and it'll search the hierarchy.

    yes, reference search in general is super broken in unity and should be first class citizen (without needing a big window and a new search button like is being shoved down our throat)

    Yeah the new search window is really cumbersome to use

    Hi,

    Inspector search is on the backlog of the team. There are currently no set plans or ETAs that could be shared though.
