# Search

> Full-text search across your task history. Find anything you've ever logged.

## What it is

Search is full-text matching across all your tasks — active, completed, and archived. It's designed for the "when did I actually ship that?" question, where you know roughly what you did but not the date.

## When to use it

* Looking up past work for a retrospective or performance review.
* Finding a specific task by a word you remember from the title.
* Checking whether you've already logged something before creating a duplicate.

## How to use it

1. Press `Cmd+S` (macOS) or `Ctrl+S` (Windows/Linux), or click the search icon in the app.
2. Type any word or phrase from a task's text.
3. Results show matching tasks ordered by date, newest first.
4. Filter by **archived** status to include or exclude archived tasks.
5. Click a result to jump to the day that task was logged.

## Example

> "When did I first deploy v2?"

Search `deploy v2`. First result: `Deploy v2 to prod` — January 15. Click it, you're now viewing January 15's task list.
