Searching Tasks

If you have a large number of tasks in your tasks list, finding a specific task can become increasingly difficult. Fortunately, SmarterMail's search tool allows users to find tasks quickly and easily.

To search, type your search criteria in the search bar located near the top of the All Tasks view, then click the magnifying glass or press Enter on your keyboard. Results replace the current list inline in the same content pane — the folders list on the left is untouched.

Task search only checks two fields: the task's Subject and its Description. Unlike Contacts search, it doesn't look at Status, Priority, or Category names, so searching for something like "in progress" won't surface tasks by their status unless those words happen to appear in the subject or description text itself.

Note: Search only looks through task folders that are currently visible in your folders list. If you want a search to include a shared task list, make sure its eye icon is toggled on before you search — folders that are hidden aren't included in the results, even if you have access to them.
