Search
Search finds any task wherever it lives, without you having to remember which section you put it in.
Open search
Section titled “Open search”- On the Mac, press
⌘Kfor a centred search overlay. - On iPhone and iPad, pull down on the Tasks tab to reveal the search bar.
What it matches
Section titled “What it matches”Search looks across every section, including the Archive, and matches on:
- the task title
- the task description
- the name of the task’s project
Matching is a plain, case-insensitive substring match. Typing invoice finds
every task with “invoice” anywhere in those fields. There is no fuzzy matching,
so results are predictable.
Results
Section titled “Results”Results are grouped by section (Today, Inbox, Backlog, Archive) and filter live
as you type. On the Mac, use the arrow keys to move through results and ⏎
to open the highlighted task in its detail view. On iOS, tap a result to open it.
Search is for finding, not editing. Open a result and you are in the normal detail view, where the usual actions apply.
