**Briefly describe (1-2 sentences) the bug you’re experiencing**: Searching for “kickstarter” does not find task with “[https://www.kickstarter.com/](https://www.kickstarter.com/)” in task name **What version of Asana are you using**? Advanced **Upload screenshots below** : ![asana 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/a/8/a89c7d4b6a90d994a180bbe3524e10238b47dcfd.jpeg) ![asana 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/1/0/1021dd291760e6969529229e712e166f9a04987a.jpeg) ---

Worse, Advanced Search doesn’t even find when searching “www.kickstarter” (that apparently only works in quick search): ![asana 4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/5/2/52ea59342848b1d163abfb3682c774aae763039f.jpeg) ![asana 3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/3/4/34ddc39e94a4637233f7edb34dc31057ff2dbcaf.jpeg) ---

Welcome, @Christian_Bailey, Your OP seems like a bug (or unfortunate product change). But I don’t believe your second post (about Advanced Search) is a bug. See this post, and the thread it links to: > [@Reference numbers for tasks](https://forum.asana.com/t/reference-numbers-for-tasks/19111/200): > > Not a comment on design, but just for added info in case it’s of interest, the two search approaches offer different capabilities, for better or worse. See my post and the entire thread and related links for more info: Larry Thanks, Larry ---

Thanks for your reply, it does answer my follow-up post about Advanced Search. But not my original post which is about Basic Search. In the post you linked, you wrote: > Basic search (immediate popup results via autocomplete) > > ``` > Supports a partial-word search > Searches on title only; will not search across every item’s text fields (including names, descriptions, and comments) > > ``` - In the first screenshot, I using basic search and, as the screenshot shows, partial-word is not finding - The text is in the title ---

You’re right, @Christian_Bailey; sorry for missing that. I’ve updated my earlier post to clarify about the OP being a bug (or possible feature change), and the second post not being a bug. Thanks, Larry ---
