  <title>Searching for Tasks</title>

<p>To help you to find specific tasks more easily, <app>GTG</app> allows you to search for tasks based on their content.</p>

<p>Click the <gui>Search</gui> icon in the <gui>Headerbar</gui> to activate the <gui>Search</gui> field. Search results are automatically displayed as you type.</p>

<p>Click the <gui>Save Search</gui> button to save a search result. Saved searches are available from the <gui>Sidebar</gui> and are automatically updated. You can delete a saved search by right-clicking the saved search and selecting <gui>Delete</gui> from the context menu.</p>

<note stlye="tip">
<p>If you want to perform more detailed searches, you can use <app>GTG's</app> natural language parsing ability/special search syntax to aid with efficiency. See
<link xref="gtg-search-syntax"><em>GTG</em> Search Syntax</link> for more information.</p>
