GameObject.Find will search for a gameobject in the scene. To search a gameobject from a parent, use Transform.

There are 2 ways of doing it:

  1. transform.Find("childname")
  2. transform.FindChild("childname")

The 2nd option is deprecated but still functional, so you'd better use the 1st option.
