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

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.

If you are really serious about this product, then the search function should be very high on your priority list

Would appreciate a heads up IF there are plans to add a search feature to Tasks. If not may have to find a different app that does though naturally would prefer to keep it all on the same Microsoft platform.

Sorry to say, but Search is an Essential Tool to find a single Task in a long list of let's say, 100 Tasks. We're not talking about filtering which is cumbersome and slow using the mouse. I'd like to have a searchbar where i can type:
My Task Text Due:today hasattachments:yes
for example. This is a real search a poweruser would like to see. No stupid clicking 10 seconds to find the right filter in a drop down menu.
