Hi jade5765,
I’m not sure I exactly understand the question. Are you attempting to find an object that is in the scene by looking for it in the content browser, or are you attempting to find an object that is in the content browser by looking for it in the scene?
If you are looking for an object, it is normally best to use a combination of the World Outliner, the Content Browser, and the Scene. If you’re looking for an object in the scene, it’s best to find it in the World Outliner. The content browser isn’t a good place to look as it only refers to things that ‘can’ be included and the things listed there may not be in the scene at all or there may be multiple instances.
The best way to find an object in the content browser is to either right click the object in the scene or the World Outliner and select ‘Find in content browser’.
I hope this information can help you.
Have a nice day
