hi!

hi! when i search for in: closed, it does not return tasks i just closed today. i have no other parameters. I've tried the various options for completed tasks to see if that made a difference (hide, move to bottom) and it does not.

in the regular list view, the tasks have a strikethrough so i know they are definitely closed. any idea what's going on?

    Hello, Siobhan! Well, my guess is Checkvist search index needs several minutes to take the recently closed tasks into account, hence the problem. But if the problem stays after 10 minutes, we'll need more information to investigate (like list ID). And sorry for the inconvenience anyway.

    yep it's doing it. i only have one list and a few sample items. there are some old items from over a year ago and those are the only ones that show up as completed.

    Thanks a lot, I'm glad to hear that! We'll have to test it more, nevertheless. So the main server will not be updated until Sunday. But you can always use the Beta server till then :)

    there is some weird thing where the hide completed checkbox is working in reverse but other than that working great. (when it's unchecked the completed show. and i have to have the completed showing in order for the search to work.)

    thanks again for quick response and fix. have a great holiday :)

    Hello Siobhan, thanks for noticing the issue with the hide completed checkbox.
    You're right - when someone is searching for "in:closed" we should temporarily disable "hide completed" mode. Will try to fix this on this weekend. 
    Thanks again!

    Hello again, I've fixed the problem and deployed it to the production site (as well as to beta).
    Thanks again for noticing the problem, and please let us know if you notice any other misbehaviour.

    I'm continuing to have the problem where recently completed tasks are found by in: open and not by in: closed.  It corrects itself in a few minutes after closing a task.  It's pretty confusing and frustrating, though obviously less so when you learn to wait.  But I'd like to close my last task for the day and immediately get a report of what's been done.  I'm sure there must be some way to implement some kind of dirty-bit / override on the search index so that recent actions are reflected immediately.

    Hello Charlie Halpern-Hamu, unfortunately, current global search relies on periodical incremental index update. We may try to improve this approach to use real-time indexes, but not very soon - people ask about this rather rarely. You may want to write down this improvement in our uservoice forum at http://checkvist.uservoice.com.
    Thanks!

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
