Search

Find anything in the system — tasks, projects, notes — by keyword.

The shortcut

Press / (or Ctrl+K) to open the search modal. Works from anywhere except inside a text field — press Esc to exit the field first if needed.

What gets searched

• Task titles and notes
• Project names and successful outcomes
• Note titles and bodies

Results are grouped by type. Click a result to jump directly to it.

What doesn't get searched (yet)

• Contacts (the Settings list) — they're not indexed; to find tasks/notes involving a person, search for their @name tag or use the Waiting view grouped by Person
• Tag names in isolation — filter via tag chips in the filter bar instead
• Completed/dropped items older than recent — these are archived out of the default result set

Tips

• Short queries work best. "morning bell" finds the project faster than "launch morning bell subscription service."
• Search is instant — start narrowing as you type. Don't hit Enter; just scan results live.
• Escape to close. Or click outside.
