In several places, Checkvist mentions a "filter" function that searches for parts of words, in contrast with the plain search that looks only for entire words. Is there any documentation on this? I can't find any in the help pages.

    Hello Jim,

      You're correct, global search works only on whole words, and the filter also works on parts of the words. This happens due to different approaches used for filtering and global search.

      When a global search does not show any results, it shows a message explaining why this could happen. The first possible reason is that only whole words are searched with global search.

      Thanks for noticing that we don't mention this difference in the help, we'll add the corresponding note under https://checkvist.com/auth/help#search

      Best,

    Kirill, can you please give me quick suggestions about how to use the filter to search for partial words? Just enough to get me started? I can't figure out how it works, and I desperately need it.

    Hello Jim, at the top of a list page there is a search field. If you start typing in it, it will hide list items which does not contain text entered. Please take a look at this picture: http://s29.postimg.org/6ognumhon/Screen_Shot_2016_02_27_at_17_32_11.png

    Is it what you need? Or I'm missing something?

Some things I miss from Checkvist when working in the browser on an iPad (without keyboard): 1. The task menu (actions, aa) has no lc and "more" (which includes ex, for example). 2. I cannot invalidate a task (shift-space), or delete it. 3. For marking done/open, the swipe has to be carried out on the text of the task. For short entries (short word or even just a letter), this can be hard to do. These are exceptions, but why not allow swiping the whole task row?
