The new find is fantastic - however the one slight annoyance is that by default it's displaying my historic "done" actions.

This is obviously useful, but more often than not, I'm looking for live actions/projects.

Would it be possible to providethe same CTRL-D toggle on this list to hide/view done items?

Already in the list for an improved find functionality. We were more thinking of offering more checkbox options in the dialog box like:
1. include done actions
2. include processed thoughts -> but then link will need to go to the corresponding action
3. include templates projects
4. include future projects
5. include done projects
6. Match case or not.

The selected options will be remembered between search.

But for done or not done actions, your suggestion might be better. Let us know what you think.

Hi Clare, thanks for the response.

I like the idea of being able to customise the find results to exclude and include exactly what I want, but that said I wouldn't necessarily want to have the configuration options taking up valuable screen estate all the time.

My main reason for using the find function is for answering the following questions:

"Are there any actions concerning "topic/keyword" ? - this is normally with the view to creating an action or project if there isn't or quickly finding out if there's something I was meant to have done that I've missed!

It's only then that I move on to the

"What have I done about this particular "topic/keyword" in the past.

Normally my focus is on the now/future and having the find results filled with lots of past information rather than focused on the current adds additional noise that I have to mentally filter.

Enabling the CTRL-D functionality as seen in the project list would make things nice and consistent and quick!

Hope this makes some kind of sense!
Doug.

Is there anything planned on this topic ?

i would like to search in the future (not done actions and projects) as default too.
