Search
Global search across items, comments, projects, labels, and people — and the 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.
