Search your tasks

There are two searches. The box on the Tasks page narrows the list you are looking at. The Search button at the top of the icon rail looks across the whole admin, and can hand its task results to the Tasks page.

StepsTick steps off as you go

  1. Search the Tasks page

    On the Tasks page, choose the magnifier on the toolbar, labelled Search tasks, and type. The list narrows as you type and matches the task title.

  2. Search everything

    Choose Search at the top of the icon rail and type. The results come in groups, and one of them is Tasks.

  3. Show the results in Tasks

    When the Tasks group has more results than it can show, choose Show in Tasks. The Tasks page opens with your words already in its search box.

What the search remembers

Your words stay in the box when you switch between List, Board and Calendar. Reload the page and the box is empty again.

Why the numbers can differ

The Search button also finds completed and canceled tasks, but the All open tab hides them. Show in Tasks can therefore list fewer tasks than the results panel did; choose the Completed tab to see finished ones.
