OmniFocus restricts search results to the current perspective or selection. [Other people have noticed this too](https://discourse.omnigroup.com/t/how-to-search-all-content-a-via-changed-perspective/366).\n\n## How to install\n\n[Download the `.workflow` file from the Releases page](https://github.com/rhydlewis/search-omnifocus/releases/).\n\n## How to use\n\n## Note\n\nThis workflow only works with OmniFocus 3.\n\n### Searching for tasks\n\n* Search for all tasks within OmniFocus (irrespective of status) with `.s`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-tasks.png)\n\nNote, use `.sc` to search for completed tasks only.\n\n![](./images/search-for-completed-tasks.png)\n\n### Searching for tasks in the Inbox and the Library \n\n* Search for all tasks within OmniFocus (whether you've processed them or not) with `.se`.\n\n### Searching the inbox\n\n* Search the OmniFocus inbox with `.i`:\n\n![](./images/search-inbox.png)\n\nor just list all tasks in the inbox with `.li`.\n\n### Searching for projects\n\n* Search for projects with `.p`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-project.png)\n\n### Searching for tags or contexts\n\n* Search for a specific tag with `.t` or context with `.c`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-tag.png)\n![](./images/search-for-context.png)\n\nor just list all tags with `.lt` or contexts with `.lc`:\n\n![](./images/list-tags.png)\n\n* Search for a specific context with `.c`:\n\n### Searching for perspectives\n\n* Search for a specific perspective with `.v`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-perspectives.png)\n\nor just list all perspectives with `.lv`:\n\n![](./images/list-perspectives.png)\n\n### Searching for folders\n\n* Search for a specific folder with `.f`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-folders.png)\n\nor just list all folders with `.lf`:\n\n![](./images/list-folders.png)\n\n### Searching for task or projects notes\n \n* Search for a specific note in a task or project with `.n`:\n\n![](./images/search-note.png)\n\n* Search for a specific note in a flagged task `.ng`\n* Search for a specific note in active task `.na`\n\n### Narrowing results\n\n* Search just for *active* tasks with `.sa`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-active-tasks.png)\n\nor just for *active* projects with `.pa`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-active-projects.png)\n\n* Search all *flagged* tasks with `.g`:\n \n![](./images/search-for-flagged-tasks.png)\n\nor for *flagged* and *active* tasks with `.ga`:\n\n![](./images/search-for-flagged-active-tasks.png)\n\n* Show the 10 most recently modified tasks with `.r`:\n\n![](./images/show-recent-tasks.png)\n\nor show the 10 most recently modfified and non-completed tasks or projects with `.ra`:\n\n![](./images/show-recent-active-tasks.png)\n\n* Show overdue or due items with `.d`:\n\n![](./images/overdue-tasks.png)\n\n## Thanks to...\n\n* [Dean Jackson](https://github.com/deanishe): the [Python library for Alfred workflows](https://github.com/deanishe/alfred-workflow) does most of the heavy lifting. Excellent stuff, thank you.\n* [Marko Kaestner](https://github.com/markokaestner): I used the [in-depth workflow](https://github.com/markokaestner/of-task-actions) to provide some insight into how to search Omnifocus.\n* [Danny Smith](https://github.com/dannysmith): for providing a new, and quite frankly, much improved workflow icon.\n\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frhydlewis%2Fsearch-omnifocus","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Frhydlewis%2Fsearch-omnifocus","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Frhydlewis%2Fsearch-omnifocus/lists"}
