1 00:00:00,914 --> 00:00:09,320 Welcome to this video. It is part of a series of tutorials to explain basic concepts of phabricator.wikimedia.org.

2 00:00:10,234 --> 00:00:19,862 The global search is in the upper right corner. By default it searches everything: Tasks, projects, users, commits, etc.

3 00:00:20,971 --> 00:00:27,354 You can narrow the search scope via the dropdown on the left. For example, you can search for tasks only.

4 00:00:29,982 --> 00:00:33,109 There is a more powerful Advanced Search for tasks only.

5 00:00:34,216 --> 00:00:42,400 Go to the frontpage and select "Tasks & Bugs" in the sidebar. Then choose "Advanced Search" in the sidebar.

6 00:00:44,835 --> 00:00:50,415 You can combine several search criteria, for example to search in a timeframe or by projects.

7 00:00:51,837 --> 00:00:59,540 If a parent project tag is a search criterion, then the results will also include tasks in its subprojects or milestones.

8 00:01:00,949 --> 00:01:04,880 For more info, see Searching for items on the help page.

9 00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:12,212 You can also find tasks with which you have interacted recently in your activity log on your user profile.

10 00:01:16,455 --> 00:01:23,137 To see all tasks assigned to yourself across all projects, select "Tasks & Bugs" on the frontpage.

11 00:01:24,354 --> 00:01:27,080 By default, your assigned tasks are shown.

12 00:01:27,894 --> 00:01:32,454 Several other default Global Search Queries are available in the sidebar.

13 00:01:35,883 --> 00:01:41,137 Going back to our previous search, you can save your custom search query after running it:

14 00:01:42,146 --> 00:01:45,797 Press the "Save Query" button at the bottom of the search results.

15 00:01:47,321 --> 00:01:53,633 The new query is listed in the sidebar and will be the default query displayed when you go to "Tasks & Bugs".

16 00:01:55,675 --> 00:02:02,860 Under "Edit Queries..." you change the order of sidebar items via drag and drop, and change the default search query.

17 00:02:05,596 --> 00:02:11,853 When you are on a project workboard, you can also list all tasks in a column as a search query result:

18 00:02:12,993 --> 00:02:17,340 In the column header dropdown, select "View Tasks as Query".

19 00:02:18,462 --> 00:02:24,227 In the query view, you could now define additional search criteria to exclude some tasks.

20 00:02:25,142 --> 00:02:30,214 Afterwards you can batch-edit your selected tasks if you have the appropriate permissions.

21 00:02:34,573 --> 00:02:42,473 For feedback or questions about Wikimedia Phabricator, use the discussion page of "Phabricator/Help" on mediawiki.org.
