  <title>Use GTG Search</title>

<p>To help you to find specific tasks more easily, GTG allows you to search
for tasks based on their content.</p>

<p>Searching for tasks is really easy: just type the words you are looking for 
in the <gui>Quick Add Entry</gui>, and select &quot;Search&quot; in the menu that
will appear automatically.</p>

<p>GTG stores your searches in the sidebar, under the &quot;Search&quot;
section. You can thus always go back to a previous search later on if you
need it. Search results are updated automatically, so you always get
all the tasks matching your search request.</p>

<p>GTG also saves all the search requests you have made until you explicitely
delete them (which you can do by right-clicking on them and selecting <gui>Delete</gui>). That allows you to safely quit GTG without loosing your
search requests. This can be very useful when you use the search features
to identify specific tasks regularly!</p>

<p>If you want to perform really specific searches, you can use a special
syntax to create precise requests. Those aspects are covered
<link xref="gtg-search-syntax">in this page</link>. </p>
