This basics video tutorial shows you how to search/query for your asset, code or references in GameMaker.

Image coming back to an project that you haven't touched for months and you want to find asset and specifc code pieces. Here you can use multiple ways to get to find your assets on the right side or the variables, sprites, instances being referenced/used on the left side.

The assets on the left side you can search with the search bar by name and by type or you can check out the most recend used assets to instantly jump to those.

The reference/use of variables, sprites, instances in code on the left side is restricted to asset types with code that you can search through. The easiest is to go into the event/script/shader and press control and F, where you can search and replace that search/query of the word. If you want to enlarge your scope you can also press control and shift and F to search all assets (or the selected types) and jump to those. Here you will have a popup of the search console giving you a list to get more informations. Or you can press F3 on the word in code and it will jump to where it is being used.

Tldr: seach and find, control + shift + F, jump where it is used F3 (control T)
