Searching using # but hiding completed tasks?
Hugo_Da_Silva I now have (I hope) a solution for both of us!
On a PC there should be 3 small dots top right when you do your search that gives you the option to hide completed tasks (a colleague has a PC and that was on their version so hoping it's the same for you?)
On a Mac you have to go to the List menu and select it there (see attached - can't believe I didn't think of that TBH!?)
Anyway I hope that helps you, it sorted my issue out!
Happy Friday!
Nosamp this a very valid question, and to help get the attention of the other 9/10 I have the very same issue using Windows 10.
Currently I am not able to filter out completed tasks when searching the TO DO list, which takes away a lot of value from the tool.
Are there any specific handles or syntax to exclude completed or non active tasks?

- Hi Nosamp.
That does it for me too. Thank you.
Everyone enjoys a clean interface, but it really needs to be evident. Hiding random options behind three dots is not.
Microsoft should review and improve.
Thanks again for the information! 🙂HiHugo_Da_Silva
Yep I agree it could be clearer, it's why I asked the question as it wasn't obvious (Ironically the 3 dots are there for me on a normal list which is why I didnt think to look in the menu).
Welcome for the help, thank you for getting involved.
Cheers
