Hi @daniela_marin_munoz! Welcome to the community! Thanks for flagging this. On the web version of Asana, the most reliable way to search within task content is to use Advanced Search with the “Contains text” filter, which searches task names, descriptions, and even comments. On mobile, however, global search currently focuses mainly on task titles and a few other fields, so text that only appears in descriptions may not show up. If this was working for you before, it could be a regression, so it’s worth trying to update the app to the latest version and then force-quit and reopen it.
If the issue persists, it would help to know whether you’re using iOS or Android (and the app version), an example keyword you expect to find, whether that keyword appears when using Advanced Search on the web, and whether the tasks are in private projects or specific teams.
