Search & filters

The search bar at the top of every page in the web app is the global search. It searches across every ticket the current user can see.

Press / on a project page to focus the search bar, or click into it. Press Esc to clear.

What it searches

  • Ticket titles.
  • Ticket descriptions.
  • Comment bodies.
  • Capture metadata (source URL, error messages from the captured Errors tab).

It does not search:

  • Annotation text (yet).
  • Network response bodies (intentional; too noisy).
  • Console message arguments (intentional; too noisy).

Query syntax

The simple case: type a phrase, press enter. Toado does a full-text search across the four fields above and ranks by relevance.

For more precision, use field qualifiers:

QualifierExampleEffect
project:project:acme-web overflowRestrict to one project.
column:column:in-reviewRestrict to one column.
assignee:assignee:jasonTickets assigned to a user (matches name or email substring).
creator:creator:meTickets created by you.
is:resolvedis:resolved cartResolved tickets.
is:archivedis:archived 404Archived tickets only.
has:branchhas:branch checkoutTickets with a recorded branch.
has:annotationshas:annotationsTickets with annotations.
created:>=2026-04-01created:>=2026-04-01 typeerrorCreated on or after the date.
url:url:checkoutSource URL contains the substring.

Combine freely: project:acme-web column:to-do creator:me has:annotations overflow.

Filter chips

On the board view, clickable chips below the search bar are common-case filters:

  • My tickets: tickets you created.
  • Assigned to me: tickets with you in the assignee set.
  • Created in the last 7 days.
  • Has branch.
  • Resolved.
  • Archived.

Click to toggle. Chips are visual shortcuts for the qualifiers above.

Saved filters

Once you have a filter combination you use often, save it:

  1. Run the search.
  2. Click the Save icon next to the search bar.
  3. Give it a name (e.g. “My open work”).

Saved filters appear as chips you can click. Saved filters are per-user; teammates do not see yours.

Search across companies

By default, search results span every company the current user is a member of. To restrict to one company, add a project: qualifier (every project belongs to one company) or use the company switcher in the top nav before searching.

Performance and limits

Results are paginated 50 at a time. Click Load more at the bottom or use the cursor returned by the API.

Search is indexed asynchronously. A brand-new ticket is searchable within a few seconds of creation. Comments are indexed within seconds of posting.
