We’re adding an “encyclopedia”-type feature to our game, and one important aspect is the ability for the player to query our localized text and get back connected ScriptableObjects.
I have plenty of ideas for how to roll our own implementation for this, but I wanted to check first if there are any existing solutions for full-text search that integrate well with the Unity Localization package. Anyone have any suggestions?
Yes we support Unity Search Search filters | Localization | 1.3.2
It won’t return connected scriptable objects but you may be able to extend it.
I might be misunderstanding, but I thought Unity Search was for in-editor searching, rather than allowing players to search through text in-game?
Oh sorry I thought you meant in editor searching. We don’t have anything for the player but it’s possible to load all tables for all languages at once so searching through them should be fine. Just need to implement a search system 
Cool, that’s what I figured! Just didn’t want to re-invent the wheel if there was already a built-in solution for it
