Unity has a global search built in that most people never open. Press Ctrl+K (Cmd+K on Mac) anywhere in the Editor and it brings up Unity Search, which searches across assets, scene hierarchy objects, menu items, packages, and project settings all at once.
A few useful filters:
t:script // search only scripts
p: // search packages
ref: // find references to an asset
Type "quality" and it jumps you into Quality settings directly, no manual menu digging. Type a prefab name and it shows you every matching asset regardless of folder depth.
An earlier version of this tool was rough enough that a lot of people tried it once and never came back. The current version is worth a second look if that was you.
What's a Unity feature you wrote off early and never gave a second chance?
