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?

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...
