I mean, I love the search functionnality back when it was still in alpha, it saved me lots of time. But now I noticed that the search is gone, when right-clicking on project view pops up the old white menu. Was this removed intentionally? Or do I have the choice to turn it back on?

It is most likely related to this: New contextual menu is not easy to read

Oh wellā¦ that is most unfortunateā¦ I have a 2-screen-long context menu under ācreateā and without the search it will give me headacheā¦

You know how it is, both the two Linux users and the half dozen ZX Spectrum, sorry, OSX users are experiencing UI issues with the context menu, so because of this, the Windows users arenāt allowed to use an actually usable context menu either. We have to suffer together, we are allowed to kept hostage by a small minority. All this, because Unity canāt make a simple context menu in a year time.

I think they could just make it like the feature of showing windows in task bar, just give us option to choose between the two in preferences, instead of brutally removing the feature.

Out of curiosity, does quick search help with this scenario? Thereās a hotkey and it can select options from the āCreateā menu.

That helps by a very limited amount. It selects from create menu but also other assets, thus I have to type more to narrow down the possibilities, not as efficient as the new context menu.

Many unity packages have added options under assets. As a result, the unity assets menu is now very long, and it is very troublesome to find the desired options without searching.
The most bugging thing is that this new menu still persists in 2023.2.x, and is so buggy that when you try to multi-select and right click - the selection is being changed to the object youāve right-clicked!!! Likeā¦ I meanā¦ WHAT THE F***ā¦ How could you miss such a basic issue for so long?? Iāve found it in a few minutes of using the editor, and it makes this version unusable!

They create a context menu that is needed from years ago. Itās buggy as hell and not responsive. But Unity instead of fixing what is needed from years ago, decides to remove it and release it āin feature versionā which basically could mean we will never release it.
Iām honestly tired of this stuff. Itās really really disappointing and bothering. They donāt understand anything. How can such a crucial feature be REMOVED instead of FIXED. Itās a fucking joke. Give me the permits and Iāll do the context menu for you for free I promise.

Yeah Iām going to be honest, I want a much better explanation for why the decision was made to drop the context menus. Was the foundation actually so deeply broken that the team didnāt think they could fix it? Why is it that we seemingly never get UX improvements in the editor these days? Itās especially frustrating when the only real improvement to come about in a while gets taken away for no good reason.
If you think about how they couldnāt figure out a context menu itās kinda obvious why we donāt get nice things.
