Search widget in dashboards feedback
Hi!
I few points to mention in the Search widget in new dashboards :)
1. It would be great if the Search feature would include projects and not just tasks
- At the moment, it only includes tasks
- It's possible that we'd want to search for projects too that contain a term or string of text
2. It would be great if we could specify how we want the words to be searched
- At the moment, we can write more than one word and as long as one of the words is contained somewhere, it will appear
- It would be nice to have "contains" or "exact match" as options on how to search for these terms
3. Update to the widget description to clarify search behaviour

- At the moment, whatever word you search will bring up tasks that have it in the name OR the description
- Simply suggesting that this gets noted in the description of the widget so that users are aware that it searches both fields
- Not sure if it also searches elsewhere like in custom field values/custom field names -- unclear (and haven't tested)
- Bonus: It would be cool to have this option in the filters (search name, description, or both, etc.)
Hi Anna Giacobbe, that’s a good suggestion. Thank you for sharing! 👍

Commenting for support.
Ali Moses thank you! 🫡
I agree with this suggestion and would be extremely helpful option in Dashboards as we report on projects for external team members, and the list is long where a search option would allow them to quickly find the project they need to view the status of.
Thank you for the feedback, Sarah Yaeger! 👍🏽
