Who can search for content on Air?
👨👩👧👦 Supported on any Air plan
✏️ Anyone who has view access to a workspace, library, or board
🗺️ Anyone that visits a board share link
Hours of digging through folders and sharing email files are a thing of the past. Searching your workspace gives you and your team the power to find exactly what you're looking for, right when you need it.
From board (gallery or table) or library view
Open the library, board (gallery or table) , or sub-board you wish to search within
Click into the search bar
Type your search term or phrase
Hit enter on your keyboard or click the search term from the results
😳 Need a wider search?
When searching in a board location, Air automatically sets the board as a location filter. You can easily jump from searching a board location to searching the entire workspace by removing the board location from your filters.
From workspace view
If you'd like to search across your entire workspace:
Head to the Search files page or any filter view
Click into the search bar
Type your search term or phrase
Hit enter on your keyboard or click the search term from the results
🤖 Boolean anyone? 🤖
When searching, you can use the basic Boolean terms AND/+, OR, and NOT/- before any word to perform an intersection, union, or exclusion search with multiple queries.
With filters
Further refine your search by adding in filters. You can use filters in combination with your search or combine filter options together to improve search accuracy.
