Overview
Taskflow includes a powerful search feature that helps you quickly locate specific tasks by name. The search works in real-time as you type, instantly filtering your task list.How to Search for Tasks
Locate the Search Input
Find the Buscar tarea (Search task) input field below the task creation form. It’s a full-width text box that spans across the main content area.
Start Typing
Click on the search field and begin typing any part of the task name you’re looking for. You don’t need to press Enter or click a search button.
View Results Instantly
As you type, Taskflow automatically filters your tasks in real-time. Tasks that match your search will remain visible, while non-matching tasks are hidden.
How Search Works
What Gets Searched
The search function looks through task names only. It searches the main text of each task but does not search:- Categories
- Priority levels
- Completion status
The search is case-insensitive, so searching for “ejercicio”, “Ejercicio”, or “EJERCICIO” will all find the same results.
Real-Time Filtering
Unlike traditional search that requires clicking a button:- Results appear instantly as you type each character
- Tasks are filtered dynamically without page reloads
- You can see matches update with every keystroke
Partial Matches
The search finds tasks containing your search term anywhere in the task name:- Searching “hacer” will find “Hacer ejercicio”
- Searching “ejercicio” will find “Hacer ejercicio”
- Searching “cer eje” will find “Hacer ejercicio”
Search Tips and Tricks
Quick Navigation
- Use just 2-3 characters to quickly filter a long task list
- Start with unique words to find specific tasks faster
- Clear the search frequently to regain context of all your tasks
Combined with Filters
Search works independently from sidebar filters:- You can filter by priority level AND search at the same time
- This helps you find specific tasks within a priority category
- Example: Filter for “Prioridad Alta” then search for “reunión” to find high-priority meeting tasks
Common Use Cases
- Finding a specific task: Type a unique word from the task name
- Viewing related tasks: Search for a common keyword (e.g., “proyecto” to see all project-related tasks)
- Quick checking: Search to verify if you’ve already added a task
If your search returns no results, all tasks will be hidden. This means no task names match your search term. Try using fewer or different characters.
Search Behavior
- Search respects your current filter selection (if you’re filtering by priority)
- Search text is temporary - refreshing the page clears the search
- Completed tasks can still be found using search
- Tasks remain in their priority sections even when filtered by search
