Thanks for the feedback on the Filter menu and cross-plan search functionality!

Next we’d like to pursue widening the Filter metadata to include other fields like assignee, description, and checklists. We’re also working with a search team in Office to align with UX and functionality across Office 365.

This work hasn’t been scheduled yet, but we will update this thread as soon as it is.

Please continue to share details on the filter and search functionality you’d like to see in Planner!

Thanks,
The Planner Team

    A full text search - in all plans, all buckets, all tasks, comments, description, checklists, ... is needed. Ability to use Wildcard / RegEx would be perfect.

    not only search tasks ... but search for plans by name for people that manage a large number of plans

    I agree, It's getting hard to be efficient with planner when the number of tasks and baskets increase. We need this search function

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    We need search to find anything in task card in order to find duplicates or overlaps. The last thing we want to do is create double work!

  • Dirk Martens commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Filter functions are not sufficient if you are exploring. This functionality should be available cross-plan so you can check all information concerning topics/keywords. Now, we can't find cross-reference tasks started up by different employees within there own team/channel plans. Double work is not Lean of Kanban!!

    Yes, I agree with everyone that a search functionality on tasks, assignee's, completed tasks, and key words would greatly improve the usage of this tool.

  • Sébastien De Bosscher commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    searching the description is necessary to find tasks!
    Now everything depends on the words used in the task title... Resulting in not finding tasks and creating duplicate tasks

    Search function - searching across all plans and buckets (full search) would be very appreciated!

    Bonjour,
    Plus on utilise massivement Planner, et plus la nécessité d'avoir un outil de recherche performant se fait sentir. Fonctionnalité indispensable donc !

  • Lasse commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    When using Teams to view a plan, please make a simple search function (e.g. CTRL+F) to search within the plan, to find tasks and task content.
    When plans become quite complex, navigating them can be time consuming, a search function would help a lot.
