</p><p>Note:
    	<ul xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><li>To search with properties not available in the Search pane, or to perform more complex searches with multiple properties, 
use the Filters workshop.</li>
<li>
For fully-shattered structures, you can search for geometry actors when the geometry is not loaded. Composer loads the geometry of matching actors when you display them.
</li>
<li>Because the Search pane is a pane and not a dialog box, you do not have to dismiss it when you are done. You can even dock the pane in the Composer window for future use.</li>
