PLEASE bring back the “search this project” feature. We have to take four extra steps now just to accomplish the same thing. This has been frustrating, given it used to be so simple.
Quick update for you all (as an Asana Group PM): we have prioritized this work for the first half of this year! We understand the pain here and appreciate your patience. The old iteration wasn’t performant and/or reliable and we had to roll it back. But we look forward to delivering a much improved experience for you all on this soon!
Thanks a lot, cant wait to see this back ! ![]()
I’m using the pre-production ready version internally and am loving it; so I can’t wait for us to be able to share it with you all soon. Again, really appreciate your patience on this ![]()
Great news !!
Yes! need this! I didn’t know this was a feature before… but I regularly want this. Ideally a quick keyboard shortcut to quickly search tasks (and subtasks) only within the project currently open.
For some comparison, and/or another idea… I LOVED Trello’s filter shortcut (F) where it would literally filter out all tasks by the keywords you typed so it was REALLY easy to find what you’re looking for because all the ‘noise’ of all the unrelevant tasks is removed.
Hi everyone, I’m excited to announce we have started rolling out the ability to search directly from your projects lis view ![]()
This feature will be available to select customers over the next few weeks. After that, we plan to expand it to all customers across Board, Gantt, Calendar views, and My Tasks as well. Stay tuned!
Let us know if you have any questions or feedback!
HOORAY!!! Hope I am one of those lucky few!
ME TOO! Pick me!
I am so happy right now!
At long last! Any updates for broader rollout?

HI, @Emily_Roman .
Consultation (+Question)
When searching within a project (the search box on the far right), results are returned for keywords only in task names.
When searching globally (the search box at the top), results are returned for keywords also in the description.
Is this correct according to the specifications?
Thanks correct @anon60007830! Apologies for the delay in getting back to you here ![]()
Thank you for @Emily_Roman reply.
Please consider making searches within a project the same as for global searches.
