Improve search functionality

Would like to search to include one list of results by default, grouped by Project, Action, completed and active
Would like to be able to filter results (e.g., by label, assignee)
Teams here are having difficulty finding actions when they have to check on/off active/complete. Some are not even bothering to search because it takes too long to find it. Thank you.
Also looking to search for keywords throughout all my Hive items, including custom fields

Hi Everyone!
For the purpose of this request, we have decided to focus on these four enhancements:
- Filter by label
- Filter by assignee
- Remember incomplete/complete choices
- Search on description
Separately, we are also working on the ability to search action comments.
I understand that these four items are not fully encompassing of what was requested in this card, so I have broken up the remaining requests into their own posts so that they can be tracked separately. If any of these are of interest to you, please vote!

HIVE is such a great tool, modern and fresh in its approach. So, I was stunned to discover that the search functionality is below basic. How is that possible? I need to be able to search in comments, in attached documents, in associated mail conversations etc. Basically everywhere, because otherwise how can this be of use as a database for your business operation? Please, dear Hive-Team, make the improvement of the search engine a very high priority. Thanks!

The UX for this function is so broken that we may actually leave Hive. When I am in table view I should be able to search (with filters) and have all action items appear in that list. This is mission critical.

John Furneaux: Hi John, when to you think that this will be released. Our subscription is coming up and as I have mentioned before we have not been able to use Hive because of the limited search feature. Fixing this could be a game changer for us. Can I also put in a request for Gmails in Hive - to pull the Gmail reference label into tasks in Hive when created from emails. Or alternatively to have email templates available in Hive so that outgoing emails from a task card can be sent from a template, and tagged or labeled - but that these tags/labels are searchable. Good luck with the search development, let hope it rocks!
John Furneaux
Yorick Benjamin: The first changes will come very quickly. Will it be a step forward for you if the search boxes are consistent with the new 'Add dependency' style?
Y
Yorick Benjamin
John Furneaux: Definitely a step forward. In our use case we need search operators AND, OR, FILE etc. If this cannot be achieved then the possibility to filter the search to selected projects, then search within those projects would be helpful. Having the option to exclude the templates from searches would be a good step. For us connecting email to existing tasks via a search function is essential as a lot of our work goes through email (Gmail). I think a lot of companies still have to use email with clients and suppliers and integrating email with a PM like HIVE is a big step forward as you have done. However, the real advantage is realised when the incoming email in particular can be connected to an existing task via a powerful search facility. If, in addition to searching - emails could be dragged and dropped on to Actions on Boards, and Actions could be dragged on top of one another to merge and become subtasks that would benefit users who find visual tools more supportive. Everyones needs are different but the above would help our company use of HIVE enormously.

Struggling with the search facilities. We need to use template generated projects and generate Actions via Action templates for productivity and consistency. A typical project template may have over 100 actions (in our case). When making new projects from a template, the searchable actions double. Therefore, 10 new projects means that there are 1000 actions to search with the same search term. Firstly it is impossible for users to remember the search term/words required for 100 items embedded within 1000 items. Secondly as there is no depth to the Hive search options, it is not possible to identify which action belongs to which project when sifting through 1000 actions? Thirdly, the search functions differ throughout Hive (top left main search; link email, link dependency), this is confusing and needs a consistent/common GUI that delivers search results across the all stored data. Hive has so much capability, depth and features but the search just does not have the power to support the underlying technology.

John Furneaux we have exactly the same issue - it's a pain, my employees are already using weird workarounds to find the projects - we also need search by project; afterwards select action; in the search field but also in the field where we will connect gmail to actions

Yorick Benjamin
Fridolin Brandl: Hi Fridolin, after much hurting and lack of searching we have moved to Sortd, which if you are a Gmail user might meet your needs. If HIVE ever fixed the search we may come back but until then Sortd works much better for our purposes.

Merged in a post:
Have search extend to the comments on action cards
W
Winshen Liu
Currently, search results do not return data contained in comments of an action card.
"I find it hard to search for particular topic. For example, the FedEx Tracking No. was noted in one of the comments, but I cannot search by Tracking No. I have to know the Project Name for to be able to find it. But it is hard for me which particular project I can associate the Tracking No.Hopefully you can implement this soon as this is where we are struggling. There are so many subactions in our projects and sometimes it would be hard to find where a particular topic was placed."
