Hey everyone! We're exploring improvements to our universal search, and we would love your feedback. Please take this 2-minute survey to share your thoughts.

This is completed ??? How can it be that You can't provide working search function. Results are incomplete and irrelevant. When I search for a task edited 2 days ago with title "thisisexample" and put word "example" in search I would get everything except this task edited 2 days ago...so it will be doc "thisisexample" edited 3 years ago some tasks containing "example" that are archived and old...but not that wha I search. Please make it usable finally.

Hi Marcin, I'm sorry for this experience. We tested this on our end but couldn’t reproduce the issue. Just to help us narrow it down: did you try using the 'Tasks' filter or sorting by 'Last Updated'? In most cases, that can help surface the most recent and relevant results more reliably.
I’ve added a screenshot below as a quick reference. Let us know, we’d love to get to the bottom of this with you!
Marcin
Ankit Mishra Thanks for Your answer...but that simply doesn't work. If You could contact me directly I could share how it looks at my side.
Ankit Mishra
I've reached out to you via email seeking your availability for a call, Marcin. Speak to you soon.

Please allow searching for any parsed text, especially numbers....in any location. Right now, my format for phone numbers is xxx.xxx.xxxx. I put my project information, project contacts in a task for each project created. Than, after 100+ projects, I sometimes want to search for a project by phone number.
With periods, I cannot search for just the last four. With dashes, it works sometimes.
The search function in mobile app is entirely terrible, and should be made to be effective.
Please allow filter for everything, lists, list comments, task comments, archived lists where I can open the archived list or tasks.

Is there a way to make the task filters - active, closed, archived - persistent? I.e. when search is opened and closed the last used filter remains in place. Otherwise you basically have to click active every time you open a search!
Michael
The new search function is really good! Would it be possible to extend it to attachments (OCR for pdfs, images, MS-Office files) and pdf comments?
Ivan Kanevski
Michael: yes, that's on the docket.

Hello! LOVE the new Search but I wish I could 'Pin' a search filter so it remebers to stay applied every time I do a search.
Current use case: 99% of the time, I'm searching just this one space "CCA" so I don't want all my spaces searched which brings up loads of irrelevant results.
It's silly to have to keep applying this filter every single time I do a search!
Thanks
Ivan Kanevski
Luke Flegg: Makes sense. I think we need something like "Saved Search" feature (which we actually already have APIs to support). Then need to figure it out how to compose and save the searches, and then make it quickly accessible in the Command Center.
Ivan Kanevski
Luke Flegg: Also, if you are already in the space, you can open the Command Center and type "Ctrl Shift L" to input the current location.
If you searched for it recently you can "go back" (Command + [) to go to previous search which should fill in the filter.
Not perfect, but might be helpful in the meantime.

Ivan Kanevski: is it this one you are speaking of? If so it's ctrl+shift+L... and thanks, I didn't notice this before.
Ivan Kanevski
Stephanie Henry: Thanks, fixed my comment.
Ivan Kanevski
There are back and forward buttons at the bottom left of the Command Center.

Ralph Stokes
Luke Flegg: +1 on this, it's exactly what I was going to say. In my case I don't want to keep clicking "Active" or having to press / + enter every time I search because 90% of the time I don't want to see closed tasks. Being able to define a default set of filters would be great, or even if it applied the last used settings rather than starting from the beginning every time you open it.

Hi everyone,
The latest and greatest search (Search V3) has been rolled out to everyone. This is a brand new technological platform and it's designed to only get better (faster, smarter & more powerful) over time.
Here are some highlights from the latest release:
- Comment Search is back. Just look for the "Comments" tab.
- Indexing should now be almost instant. For example, tasks will appear much faster in search after they are created.
- There is now a "Current Location" filter. You can use it to only show the results for the location you are currently viewing.
- New "Assigned to..." filter
- New "Created by..." filter
- New sort option "Last Created", which will show things that were most recently created
- Back and forward history controls. Helpful to go back to your previous search after Command Center closes.
- More keyboard friendly. You can now do a lot more without touching the mouse.
- It is faster, and will continue to get faster
With the new platform online, it means we can actually make improvements week-over-week.
A lot of the feature requests in this thread are now possible, so I’ll be going through this thread and picking off the things people have been asking for.
In the meantime, I'm going to close this thread for the purpose of focusing our discussion. If you have a feature request, feel free to kick off a new Canny thread (that way it'll get attention it deserves).
The best parts are yet to come, but you can hear more about that at the LevelUp conference this coming Tuesday.

Ivan Kanevski: Thanks for this update. Really cool to see the big improvement and getting things faster.
Santiago Fontana
Ivan Kanevski: Thank you!!
Nussi Einhorn
Ivan Kanevski: Wow! It's super great!
Best search in the world
Lukas Moser
please make the search result window/list bigger
Ivan Kanevski
Lukas Moser: We need a full-screen search experience for sure.
Walker Chan
It can be very frustrating when searching to add a dependency: I can see the task I want to add but for some reason search won't find it
Ivan Kanevski
Walker Chan: Would be helpful to get more details here. We have lots of search-like interfaces, so hard to conceptualize which part isn't working as expected. If you open search, you can run the "Report Bug" command to shoot more details our way.

Would love the ability to search for external link URLs. I have various links in my Docs and tasks I have to hunt down to update
Ivan Kanevski
Tracy Beckett: This is on our radar, stay tuned.
