The “Search Anything” search feature is one of the most amazing search tools you’ve ever seen (well, besides Google of course). But seriously, Search Anything will make your time on Mandy.com so much easier!

What is Search Anything?

Search Anything lets you search anything across all your boards! Want to filter which tasks are marked as “stuck” across all your boards? You can! Want to check how much work your colleague has? Search for their name! Want to see what you have to do this week? Search for what items you’ve been assigned, then filter by date!

To get there, click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner of your screen as shown in the image below:

Please note: Search Anything is available on the Standard plan and above. For more information, see our pricing page here .

Search all tasks in my account

Let’s say you want to search for all the tasks assigned to you in the last two weeks.

• Step 1

Type your name in the Search Anything field and press “Enter” on your keyboard.

• Step 2

In the top right corner of your results, click the “Filter by date” button. A small timeline with sliders will appear, allowing you to control the date range you want to filter the results by.

Search for specific updates in my account

Search Anything can also help you search for a specific update across your entire account. Type a search term in the Search Anything field. Let’s say we’re looking for updates that include the word “work.” Make sure to select the “Updates” option as shown here:

From this point, you can add additional filters located on the right side of your screen.

The additional filters will help you get the result faster. Just try it!

Please note: When you use Search Anything, you will only see data from main boards or private/shareable boards that you are subscribed to. Please note, the administrator(s) of an Enterprise account will be able to access private/shareable board names and limited information through the Content Directory.

Search for specific files in my account

With the Files tab in Search Anything, you can see all the files uploaded to your Mandy.com account. You can also filter for specific files with keywords.

Please note: Keyword searching only applies to the file name and not the content.

You can also apply a filter on the right to see specific files like images, Word documents, Excel documents, and more!

Search for specific tags in my account

The tags column allows you to enter a number of keywords that will appear next to the “#” sign in the tags column. Thanks to Search Anything, you can search for a specific item that has these tags.

Let’s say I want to search for the tag “near”, I can type it into the Search Anything field and click on the “Tags” category, and it will generate a list of all items with that tag.

This is a great way to track all tasks related to one project across your entire account!

Search for people in my account

Is your company expanding? Lots of new faces you didn’t know? We get it! Search Anything is great for finding specific people. Let’s say I can’t remember who Dan is, I can type his name in the Search Anything field and look up his profile.

Search your archives

Looking for something on a board or in an item you’ve archived? Can’t find something and want to check if it might have been archived? With any search you perform, you can check the “Search Archives” box in the upper right corner to move your search to boards and archived items.

Useful tips

• Tip 1

To save a search for future use, click the “Save” button, which appears to the right of the text you searched for. You’ll find your saved searches on the main screen when you click the Search Anything field.

• Tip 2

Use quick searches to see all your assigned tasks with one click.

Quick searches also allow you to see all the updates where you were mentioned and did not respond (nobody is perfect).
