# SearchColumnProviderAttribute

> The search column provider attribute is used to define new formats for a given column.

## Definition

* **Type:** Class
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.Search](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor
* **Inherits from:** [Attribute](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.attribute)

```csharp
[AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Method, AllowMultiple = true)]
public class SearchColumnProviderAttribute : Attribute
```

## Remarks

Search column formats are equivalent to formats in a spreadsheet application. They define how the data in a column cell is manipulated and displayed.

```csharp
[SearchColumnProvider("Color")]
public static void InitializeColorColumn(SearchColumn column)
{
    column.drawer = args =>
    {
        if (args.value is Color c)
            return EditorGUI.ColorField(args.rect, GUIContent.none, c, showEyedropper: false, showAlpha: true, hdr: false);
        return args.value;
    };
}
```

Here is an example using search column delegates to manipulate the data.

```csharp
[SearchColumnProvider("GameObject/Enabled")]
public static void InitializeObjectReferenceColumn(SearchColumn column)
{
    column.getter = args => GetEnabled(args.item);
    column.drawer = args => DrawEnabled(args);
    column.setter = args => SetEnabled(args);
}
```
