Since 2021.1.4, scenes are no longer showing up in search. If I open a scene manually and try for a while it does show again, only to disappear the next time…

They came back when I picked “Legacy” as the search providers… But now all the prefabs are gone
I have no ideas what search you speak of, since Unity has a LOT of different ways to search stuff.
REGARDLESS of what window you are talking about, please consider using source control in order to guard and protect your hard-earned work.
Personally I use git because it is free and there are tons of tutorials out there to help you set it up.
Here’s how I use git in one of my games, Jetpack Kurt:
Yeah, what Praetor said is it… Debug.Log is your friend, and also since this is animation related, you can open up the Animator window when you expect the animations to go, and actually visually see where the state machine is, see which state it thinks it is in. You can combine this with Debug.Log() output at the locations where you set the animations to be what you think they should be, and that should lead you to some intel.
I highly recommend setting up git source control. It really plays ni…
Using fine-grained source control as you work to refine your engineering:
This is a reasonable initial approach. The problem is you have listed the parts, but you haven’t really listed how they interact, and even if you did, it’s still sorta up to you how to organize it.
Only YOU will know how to organize it, and the only way you can tell is to do the work.
I recommend this: first, develop ALWAYS with source control (such as git), and every time you get even the slightest thing working, commit those changes with good commit messages.
Then move to the next thing, c…
Share/Sharing source code between projects:
I have found that bundling your own code into DLLs only serves to slow down your workflow. I base this on several years of experience dealing with other teams well-intentioned packaging mishaps. With games, it is almost always useful to reach into library code, make a temporary tweak to isolate a problem, and then revert it. With DLLs this is impossible, making workflow harder and more brittle.
I prefer to share source code at the C# level. That way I can reach into libraries trivially and inje…
Setting up the right .gitignore file:
Not sure what you are "auto generating" with... I usually start from one of my other projects, or a gitignore example online, and reason about all the parts inside it, and start from there. Like any other configuration change, after you make it, pay attention for a while to make sure it is what you want.
You can always clone the repo somewhere else to verify that the correct files are being tracked. Doing so to a brand-new computer is the acid test to make sure you can still bui…
You wouldn’t play a 1000-hr RPG without a savegame… don’t work on a game for 1000 hrs without source control!

I’m talking about the search that is now built into Unity that was once called QuickSearch:https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.quicksearch@1.0/manual/index.html
When I say that the prefabs are gone, I mean they have been dropped from the indexed search - not from disk. Definitely using git

If anyone else bumps into this, double click Assets.index and you can add .unity and .prefab as includes. Stumbled over it by accident
