Or, if you are searching for a specific task but can’t remember which bucket it is in, you can also search by keyword.

Teams Search doesn't work for finding tasks in Planner, et al

cshortldi Go check out the "Filter by Keyword" solution to the problem of searching for items by name in Teams Planner / Tasks that I finally discovered here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msteams/forum/msteams_tfb-msteams_task-msteams_mngtask/ctrl-f-search-option-in-microsoft-planner/5d0fa7e0-0e9d-451e-90d2-20436844bd7c
Great answer given by: "Celso Oliveira 77", as follows:
OW123456789 this doent appear to search words in the checklists. Just the Planner task title. Using the filter is looking for fields not text in the checklists.
OW123456789 Unfortunately keyword filtering only finds it if the text is in the Title.
I cant' seem to figure out how to search for a task by words that show up in the description or comments. Anyone know how to do that?
Also, searching with the main Teams search bar does not find ANY tasks, regardless of where the term is stored. (even title).
