Planner search feature coming soon?
This feature as been requested by may users and there is no update as of now from MSFT on when this will be available. Please cast your votes for this in user voice.
One of the best and most important parts of the Sharepoint ecosystem is the ability to search across everything. I cannot understand why Microsoft are releasing so many new tools without this:
Teams
Planner
Flow
There is simply no way we can adopt these add ons as an enterprise without proper search. In fact so much so, the lack of it (and the lack of understanding of just how fundamental this is by Microsoft) may drive us away to Confluence of some other solution.
It is absolutely absurd to not have it.
I wonder if anyone in Microsoft management realises that one of the most powerful Sharepoint ecosystem features is unified search across all content - emails, OneNote, Sharepoint sites, tasks etc etc
Gradually eroding this by introducing supposedly 'new/better' tools is actually gradually undermining the value of the whole solution of apps, content and sites. It's certainly prompting our firm to wonder whether other alternatives aren't a better approach
One workaround to search tasks in Planner right now is to use filter.
SanthoshB1 - Filtering is not a search. We will have 5,000 tasks in a year and the planner is just unusable. The only get around I have found is to copy each planner task to an email address and using the search facility there. This is unbelievable in 2020 that we don't have a text search.
