Search function
jsteehl says:
I must be missing something because that would be considered core (or as least close to core) functionality.
Is there a search function? If not will there be?

It'd be great if notes attached to tasks are included in the search.

YES, PLEASE, SEARCH NOW! VERY NEXT FEATURE!
remember the milk is the closest thing i have ever seen to the be-all-and-end-all of instant-input-and-retrieval online task management. this system is already really robust so far, with a simple interface - it's really impressive and you should be proud. i love being able to just quickly throw something in with a keyword [call fred, buy milk, find cat, etc] and not have to think about the filing category [bills] or venue [@computer, al la GTD] when i do it or when i need it. when it's time to get a quick overview of everything i need to buy, everyone i need to call or everything i need to find, i want to just be able to enter that keyword and have that list come up.
tagging and searching eliminates the need to sort stuff into folders like outlook wants you to [which folder to choose? bah!] and also eliminates david allen's GTD approach to presort by venue [@office, @home]. if i want to tell myself that i want to do something, i can just put the keywords right into the task, like call fred @ office, buy milk @ target, etc.
that being said, i think that the only thing holding this thing back from exploding as a must-have killer app is the search function. to be able to type the word "buy" as a keyword and have every item with that word in it come up so i can print a list before i go to the store would put this over the top.
i like backpack a lot, but i think the real model to follow here is gmail. even when you don't use gmail's powerful label function [tagging], you can still just use their search box. type in the person or the keyword or whatever and it's all there. gmail is the model to follow, i think, for dumb-easy instant input and retrieval.
DON'T MAKE ME THINK, JUST LET ME SEARCH! i am waiting for a searchable online task manager to make my life complete! can you guys do that? ;-D
thanks for an exquisite programming job and keep up the good work...
