(Launch) Search and find stuff in Nozbe

Michael   Friday, June 20

We haven’t stopped with last week’s Nozbe Calendar announcement and people thrilled about new (lower) Nozbe plans

Today we’re announcing the long-awaited:

Nozbe Search and Find!

Now you can easily find your actions, notes and files with a simple keyword search using the box on the right hand side of your Nozbe Account:

Just write your keyword in the box and click on the “Search!” button and the search results will be displayed like this:

Where you can see the search box and results:

  1. Actions found
  2. Notes and files found
  3. Projects related to your search (either containing the actions, notes and files found or containing the keyword in their name)

Hope you like the new addition to Nozbe. The “search” has been the most-requested feature next to the calendar so you get the two of the most requested goodies within one week!

Like it? Let me know in the comments!

Another piece of the puzzle comes into the picture. Thanks!

Nice! Thanks!

I found one little bug though.
When I entered “abc”, it gave me the following error message “minimum word length: 3 character”.

Excellent. I needed this the other day to find a task that went into the wrong project.

Thanks.

Great addition! Many thanks.

It would be great if there were an option to also search completed tasks. Often, I need to see when something was done. Thanks again.

Excellent! The missing me yet; great work! If it’s in inozbe built?

Case sensitive — bad idea. Search in russian language doesn’t work properly.

Glad you like it guys, I don’t know how I could have lived without it as well!

@Shing – it’s not a bug, the search minimum must be 4 characters for now.

@antonastin – I’ll check this case-sensitivity as well as the Russian language support. Thanks for reporting this!

Very useful!

Hey Michael, for the Notes that match the search string, it’d be nice to provide a link back to the parent project just like you do for the actions.

:-)
Michael 23 Jun 08 23:47

@Shing – good idea. We’ll add that.

:-)

Good work, though there is no substring query support, ie. book* doesn’t find books. That would be very useful for languages with heavy use of declension.

This is a fantastic addition to an already great application. One suggestion – most of my projects have names with three character abbreviations (acroynms) for the name of the application under development, e.g. AMS, HRM, FIN, etc. Can we remove the four character requirement from the search term, reduce it or remove it entirely? Thanks again for a wonderful application – it has truely made my life a lot easier and less stressful.

Another reason for removing the four character limitation. I have some peoples first names I would like to search for that are also only 3 characters in length.
