TL;DR

Workspace search supports commands to filter results. Use AND, OR, NOT (in caps) to combine keywords, * for partial words, and " " for exact phrases. Filter by people (assigned:/to:, author:/by:), content (title:, description:, comment:, file:), location (folder:, notin:, ID), status (priority:, #notme), and dates (due:, created:, completed:, start:, updated:, duration:). Separate multiple commands with spaces.
