Global search — everything behind one ⌘K
Search across every project at once, however many you have.
⌘K (Ctrl+K) from anywhere
Open the palette
⌘K / Ctrl+K — from anywhere (it opens even while you are typing in a text field). Clicking the magnifier icon in the sidebar does the same. ⌘P (Ctrl+P) opens the same search box too, and you can change it under Settings → Shortcuts.
Type a query
Type two or more characters to see matching results.
↑↓ + Enter
Move through the results with the keyboard and press Enter to open one. Esc closes the palette.
Press ⌘K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) on any screen and the search palette opens in the middle of the window. Results are grouped by category the moment you start typing.
The seven categories that get searched
- Tasks — matches titles and descriptions (archived tasks are left out)
- Pages — matches titles and body text
- Feature spec — matches the titles of requirements, features, and detailed features
- Databases — matches database names and the title column of each entry
- Comments — matches comments on tasks and pages
- Memos — matches your own personal memos
- Chat — matches the body of channel and DM messages
Help guides that match your query also appear at the bottom of the results.
What chat search covers
- Click a channel message to jump straight to that message.
- A DM result opens the conversation (jumping to a specific message is channel-only).
- Deleted messages are not searched.
- Earlier messages in a DM conversation you deleted are not searched.
- Type something like
in:chat deployto search chat only.
Chat results only include conversations you are actually in. DMs appear only where you are a participant, and a private channel appears only if you are a member of that channel — being a project member is not enough. There is no exception for admins.
Ranking
Results that match in the title come first, and the ones that only matched in the body come after. Korean words are handled so they match naturally too.
Narrowing to one project
Press ⌘K inside a project screen and 'Search scope: current project' appears above the box, with results limited to that project. Your own memos and the help guides are searched along with it, while DMs, which don't belong to a project, are left out of this scope. Press 'Search everywhere' to widen it to every project, and 'Search this project' to narrow it again. If you move to a different project and open the search, it narrows to that one instead, and outside a project screen it always searches the whole workspace.
Tips
- Two or three key words are faster than a long sentence.
- Queries containing special characters can be typed as-is.
- Results from projects you have no access to are excluded automatically.
- Put
in:task,in:wiki,in:comment,in:memo, orin:chatin front of your query to search just that kind. - Narrow by date range with
after:2026-01-01andbefore:2026-06-30, and by author withby:name. Results that have no date or author (feature specs, databases, and so on) drop out when you use these filters. - Clicking a result navigates in the same window, so search → work → search again stays fast.
