How search matches
Search matches both the words you type and what they mean. It finds items that contain your keywords, like titles, names and IDs, alongside items that describe the same idea in different words, like “how do we handle failed payments”. Results update by keyword as you type, then add matches by meaning once you pause. Items matched by meaning show a percentage for how closely they match your query. An item found only by its keywords has no percentage.Search filtering
The search interface provides a set of filters and options to help you quickly narrow down your results:Type filter
Select which types of items you want to search for:- Cards – Tasks, issues, or tickets
- Boards – Kanban or workflow boards
- Pages – Documentation or notes pages
- Notes – Transcribed meeting notes
- Spaces – Team or topic-based spaces
- Projects – Large initiatives or epics
- Members – Workspace users
Status filter
Filter cards by their workflow status. You can select one or more statuses (e.g., Backlog, Not started, In progress, Done, Cancelled) to only show cards in those states.Space filter
Limit your search to a specific space (e.g., Product, Design, Scratchpad) or search across all spaces. This is useful for large workspaces with many teams or topics.Archived filter
Toggle this option to include or exclude archived items from your search results.AI-powered search
Superthread’s search includes an AI assistant that can answer questions based on your workspace content. For example, you can type natural language queries like:- “What is David’s role?”
- “Show all cards assigned to me due next week”
- “List completed projects in the Design space”
Search results
- You can see recently viewed items at the top for quick access.
- Each result shows its type (e.g., card, page), location (space or board), and relevant metadata (e.g., tags, status, project).
- Click a result to open it directly.
