# F6 — Search

<!-- status: todo -->

## What it is

**Search** finds [F1 tasks](./f1-tasks.mdx) and [F3 projects](./f3-projects.mdx) by typing a query — a fast way to jump to something known instead of browsing [F5 views](./f5-views.mdx) or scrolling the list. Search uses **titles and names only** — not [custom field](./f2-custom-fields.mdx) values.

## What users can do

- **Search** from a global entry.
- **Find tasks** by title.
- **Find projects** by name.
- **Open** a result to go to that task or project.
- **Clear** search to return to the previous screen.

## How it behaves

- **Substring match**, case-insensitive — "report" finds "Draft Q2 report".
- Results grouped by type (task vs project).

### Scope

| Search from             | Tasks                 | Projects |
| ----------------------- | --------------------- | -------- |
| Global / main           | All tasks             | All      |
| Project page            | Tasks in that project | —        |
| [Inbox](./f4-inbox.mdx) | Not-ready inbox items | —        |

Search complements views — it jumps to items; views arrange a list you're already on.

## Limits (v1)

- Task search matches **title** only — not description, due date, or other [custom fields](./f2-custom-fields.mdx).
- No saved searches — use [F5 views](./f5-views.mdx) for repeatable filters.
- No fuzzy match or ranking.
