Hawkeye Search information
What is Hawkeye Search?
Hawkeye is a fast local search and navigation tool for developers working in large software and game projects.
It helps teams quickly find code, files, assets, references, scripts, localization, audio, icons, project content, and related data without sending anything to the cloud. Hawkeye is fully local/on-premises and is designed for projects where normal search becomes slow, noisy, hard to manage or you just want a better overview.
Hawkeye is especially useful for large C++, C#, Unreal Engine, Unity, legacy, and multi-project codebases where developers need to understand how things are connected, find where features are implemented, and navigate unfamiliar areas of a project faster.
Key features include:
Fast search across large codebases and project folders Search across both code and non-code project content Group projects into Code, Content, Text, and other custom areas Open results directly in external editors and tools Visual Studio 2017-26 integration Unreal Engine plugin support Windows and Linux support Local/on-premises workflow with no AI required Refactoring support and p4, external tools integration
Hawkeye is built for developers, technical artists, producers, designers, and teams who want to spend less time manually digging through large projects and more time building and making things awesome.
