📋 Search Panel

Each search (within a single project) opens or updates the Search Results panel with up to 500 matching items, ordered by priority.

Order of appearance:

1. Recently accepted
2. In-progress
3. Unstarted
4. Unscheduled
5. Older accepted stories in completed iterations

Note: Stories accepted in iterations hidden from the Done panel may not appear. Use “Show all iterations” in the Done panel or update the default in Project Settings.

Workspaces

If you’re searching within a Workspace, you’ll get up to 500 results per project. For example:

• Project A has 700 results → only the first 500 are shown.
• Project B has 600 results → again, only the first 500 are shown.

🔎 Reveal Icon

Click the Reveal icon next to a story in the search panel to jump to its location in context (e.g., Icebox, Backlog).

If you don’t see a Reveal icon: The story might be deleted, moved to another project, or in a hidden iteration. Click “Show all” in the Done panel and refresh the search.
