Search in Freelo is a very powerful tool. In the upper right part of the blue bar, you can find a magnifying glass icon for searching.
If the entered text matches tasks, projects, or users, the search offers those items. It’s very fast.
What can you search for?
A very useful help when switching between a couple of tasks during the day. If you click the search icon, you can see the list of Last visited tasks. It helps to go back and forth between a few tasks, without typing or searching for anything.
Suggestions
You can type a part of the sub/task or project name in the search box and the corresponding items appear in the suggestions.
Are you searching for a task or subtask? There is a breadcrumb navigation to help you around. The navigation appears in the following order Project > To-Do list > Task.
Search quickly using a keyboard shortcut
This keyboard shortcut Alt/Option + Shift + F is really fast. It brings up a Search box that automatically displays the last visited sub/tasks, and can suggest names of projects, tasks, and other content.
You can quickly move around the search via the keyboard:
- up and down arrows ↑↓ – move to the desired sub/task
- Q – open sub/task via modal window
- Esc – exit the modal window of the sub/task
- Enter – open sub/task detail
Last visited tasks
When you click the magnifying glass icon in the upper blue bar and write nothing, there appears a list of Last visited tasks and subtasks. It’s a cool thing to do and saves some time.
Switch between the tasks/subtasks you’re currently working on. In the breadcrumb navigation, you can see where the task or subtask is located.
