# SearchFlags > Search options used to fetch items.

SearchService.Request("p: Search", (SearchContext context, IList items) => { foreach (var item in items) Debug.Log(item); }, SearchFlags.NoIndexing); } } ``` ## Fields | Value | Description | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [AllProvidersAvailable](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/allprovidersavailable.md) | All SearchProviders are available in the SearchWindow dropdown menu. | | [Debug](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/debug.md) | Adds debugging information to [SearchItem](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchitem.md) while looking for results. | | [Default](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/default.md) | Default Search Flag ([SearchFlags.Sorted](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/sorted.md)). | | [Dockable](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/dockable.md) | Indicates that the search view is dockable. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [Expression](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/expression.md) | Indicates that the search query will be evaluated as a search expression. | | [FocusContext](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/focuscontext.md) | Indicates that the search view will focus on the first contextual search provider available when it opens. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [GeneralSearchWindow](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/generalsearchwindow.md) | This is a general purpose search window that has access to all Providers in the SearchService. | | [HidePanels](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/hidepanels.md) | Indicates that the search view will hide its side panels when it opens. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [Multiselect](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/multiselect.md) | Indicates that the search view will allow multi-selection. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [NoIndexing](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/noindexing.md) | Prevents the search from using indexing. Asset Provider will use its builtin Find in Files provider. | | [None](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/none.md) | No specific search options. Result will be unsorted. | | [OpenContextual](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/opencontextual.md) | Opens a search view with default contextual options. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [OpenDefault](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/opendefault.md) | Opens a search view with default options. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [OpenGlobal](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/openglobal.md) | Opens a search view for a global search. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [OpenPicker](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/openpicker.md) | Opens a search view as an object picker. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [Packages](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/packages.md) | The Object Picker window will include any results from packages. | | [QueryString](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/querystring.md) | Evaluate the search text as a pure query string (do not evaluate the text as a search expression). | | [ReuseExistingWindow](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/reuseexistingwindow.md) | Indicates that the search view will find any existing window instances that are already opened before creating a new one. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [ShowErrorsWithResults](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/showerrorswithresults.md) | Always show query errors even when there are results available. This flag is only usable with internal API. | | [Synchronous](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/synchronous.md) | Search items are fetched synchronously. This can take a long time for some [SearchProvider](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchprovider.md) (like asset). Use at your own risk. | | [UseSessionSettings](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/usesessionsettings.md) | Persist the SearchContext state in between sessions using the SearchViewState.sessionName as its data key. | | [WantsMore](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchflags/wantsmore.md) | Sets the search to search for all results. This might take longer than unusual if [SearchProvider](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unityeditor/search/searchprovider.md) are using multiple sources of items (files on disk, AssetDatabase...) |
