Please add "Search" Task in order to find a task quickly

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

Even a basic search function in Planner would be a huge help at this point

Agree with everyone else - the search on Teams is great, I use it for everything but can't use it on Planner!

Please please can the search function be added on tasks - makes it almost impossible to remember what has been added if you have a long list and other than scrolling and filtering etc , then it would be much easier to add the search . Fear this excellent planner becomes void of user friendly nature without it . Come on Microsoft you can do better than this

It would be nice to be able to search for all updates (bucket changes, comments, progress changes, etc.) within a given date range, too.

Filter is nice for filtering on some things. But full text search in all fields is necessary for the product to work.
I am planning to leave Planner and go back to Excel while there is no search -

Please add text/keyword search to the planner. Very time consuming and frustrating without it.

I'll probably move to Trello or Jira in coming weeks if this feature is not added. Very simple and basic feature.

Look, I'm a simple man with few requests. One of those requests is a search function in the Task Planner because that should be requirement.

This functionality, especially a search in the description box, is essential in our team being able to use this software. Please consider making this a priority!

Hi, when can a search function work? If not I'm forced to restart using Jira.
It's simply not workable for bigger backlogs. -

16 month's later we still don't have search functionality... this is the most limiting feature you could have on a platform like this, the ecosystem is great but not being able to type a word to find it in the notes or a description is so inconvenient and makes the it a tough sale.

Please add a search filter for description like it works on task title.
