## Remarks

A [SearchValue](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchvalue.md) is a structure that can hold a value of any type defined in [SearchValue.ValueType](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchvalue/valuetype.md). You can use this structure to add filtering capabilities to any [QueryEngine](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/queryengine.md) for all the types supported in [SearchValue.ValueType](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchvalue/valuetype.md). See [SearchValue.SetupEngine](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchvalue/setupengine.md) for more details.
