Search

Full-text and structural search across projects, nodes, and metadata.

Search in Tree spans projects, nodes, descriptions, comments (on Team), and metadata. It supports both full-text queries and structural queries based on node properties.

Search covers:

  • Node titles and descriptions as full-text
  • Custom field values (see Custom fields)
  • Node types (see Custom node types)
  • Status and state (locked, available, in-progress, complete)
  • Tags and labels if applied
  • Comments and activity on Team workspaces

Search results are scoped to the current project by default. Cross-project search is available from the workspace home view.

Query syntax

Tree's search supports basic full-text queries (typing a word matches nodes containing that word) and a small set of operators for structural queries:

  • type:decision matches nodes of a specific type
  • status:available matches nodes in a specific state
  • field:value matches nodes with a custom field set to a specific value
  • Words can be combined with implicit AND (multiple terms must all match)

For more complex queries, see Advanced filtering and Advanced date queries.

Performance

Search runs locally against the project's data. Large projects (1000+ nodes) remain responsive because the search index is computed incrementally as the graph changes.

Tier availability

Search is part of the core feature set, available on Free, Paid, and Team.
