Tips, ranking, and what search covers

Here's how awork ranks your results:

• Names are given more weight, so they're more likely to appear near the top.

• Frequently used items move up the list because awork keeps track of how often you access projects and tasks.

For some results, awork shows you the path it used to find them on the right side of the result, for example, whether it found the result in a description, tag, or task list.

awork searches the following items in detail:

• Menu

• Project name

• Project description

• Project participants

• Task lists

• Task name

• Task description

• Files

• Assignee

• Comments

• Tags

• Status

• Notes in the dashboard widget

• Thread title

• User first name

• User last name

• Task keys and project keys

• awork links (project, task, and task list links)

Open results in a new tab or copy a link

• Open a result in a new tab with Cmd/Ctrl + click.

If you can't find what you're looking for

If your item doesn't show up, you probably need to make your search more specific. For example, enter the project name, or part of it, along with the task name. As with a web search engine, this can help awork return more relevant results.

Searching as an external Connect user (Basic Connect Plan)

The standard search criteria apply to content in your own workspace that isn't part of external projects.

Depending on their permissions, external users can also find content they've been invited to, meaning content linked to a project. This lets them find content in external shared projects they're assigned to.
