Search
Global search across work items, comments, projects, labels, and people — relevance-ranked, permission-scoped, plus the Cmd+K command palette.
Two ways to find things in RyTask: the search page, and the command palette that's never more than a keystroke away.
What search covers
Global search looks across:
| Kind | What's matched |
|---|---|
| Work items | Titles and descriptions. |
| Comments | The comment text, with the matching excerpt shown. |
| Projects | Names. |
| Labels | Names. |
| People | Members of your organization. |
Results are ranked by relevance, not just listed — a strong title match beats a passing mention in a long description. Matching snippets are shown so you can tell results apart without opening each one.
Search is permission-scoped: you only ever see results from projects you can read. There is no way to discover the existence of an item through search that you couldn't open directly. (Searching for people covers your organization's members — names aren't secret within a team.)
The command palette
Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) anywhere in the app to open the command palette. Type to search the same scope as above and jump straight to an item, project, or person — keyboard all the way: arrow keys to choose, Enter to go.
It's the fastest way to move around RyTask once item keys enter your muscle memory: Cmd+K,
OPS-42, Enter.
Tips
- Search finds words and their forms ("deploy" finds "deployed", "deploying"), and falls back to partial matching for short fragments like an item key.
- To narrow by assignee, label, or status instead of words, use view filters — see Views and boards. Search is for finding, views are for slicing.
Inbox and notifications
Your in-app inbox and notifications — what lands in it, how duplicate alerts collapse into one, and how marking read, snoozing, and archiving work.
Permissions and roles
Permissions in plain words — the five organization roles, the three project roles, how they combine, invites, and personal access tokens.
