| [SearchProvider](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchprovider.md) | A new search provider that can be used temporarily for a given search session. |

### Remarks

This can be useful to base a new search provider on an existing one simply by replacing a few handlers. Note that this search provider will not be globally available, in example with [SearchService.GetProvider](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchservice/getprovider.md).

### Examples

```csharp
static SearchProvider CreateDecalProvider()
{
    var assetProvider = SearchService.GetProvider("asset");
    var decalProvider = SearchUtils.CreateGroupProvider(assetProvider, "Decals", 0, true);
    decalProvider.fetchPropositions = EnumerateDecalPropositions;
    return decalProvider;
}
```
