Module guide
Unified search
One query across tasks, wiki, projects, goals, and comments.
Overview
One search across tasks, wiki pages, projects, goals and comments. Every word you type must appear, in any order, so "login bug" finds "Bug on login". Results are grouped by kind, ranked with titles above descriptions and whole words above parts of words, and the words you searched are highlighted. The address of the page carries the search, so a copied link, a reload or Back reopens it exactly.
Highlights
The capabilities worth knowing before you dive in.
Important to know
Limits, permissions, and sharp edges to keep in mind.
- A word matches anywhere inside a longer word, so "plan" also finds "planning".
- Search shows only what you can see in this workspace. Nobody in another workspace can find your content.
- Deleted tasks, and comments on them, are left out.
How to use it
The primary workflow, start to finish.
- Open Search and type at least two characters.
- Choose a kind, or open the filters to narrow by date, status, assignee or label.
- Move through the results with the arrow keys or j and k, and press Enter to open one.
- Choose Copy link to share the search, or the star to save it.
FAQ
- Why does a search with two words find fewer results than one word?
- Every word has to appear somewhere in a result. Remove a word to widen the search, or use the filters instead of extra words.
- Can somebody in another workspace find our content through search?
- No. Every search runs inside your workspace, and results are limited to what you are allowed to see there.
- Why did a partial word match something I did not expect?
- A word matches inside longer words, so a short fragment can appear in several. Add another word, or a filter, to narrow the results.
