I propose that there should be a listContains operator to function like the tagContains and noteContains operators for searches.
...please.
I'm following the wonderful GTD guide from the blog:
http://blog.rememberthemilk.com/2008/05/guest-post-advanced-gtd-with-remember.html
One limitation I've run into is that I have work tasks that don't necessarily need a location tied to them. This is limiting my creation of the "Waiting For" lists -- I can't search on location and expect to include all possible work-related waiting-fors. However, if I could search on a "listContains" operator, I could filter for all lists containing "wk" for work and "ps" for personal.
Regards,

Another Dustin here, and I second the proposal for listContains. Granted, wildcard search would be even better, but this would suffice for me :)

says:Totally agree. I assumed this existed and its absence is very time consuming...

+1 here - listContains would make a lot of people happy.

says:Please. Please. Please add this functionality. This will make RTM work for me (look at all the pro account holders above!)
Thanks

says:Not to suggest this is not a valid request, but as a workaround... if you rely on smartlists generated via tag, as opposed to plain old lists, then you can use the tagcontains search to accomplish just what you want listcontains to do, can't you?

says:listContains: would be dope. here is another hard-hitting example of why. i have different lists for tracking paperwork tasks that need to be signed by clients, returned to me, sent to my corporate office, action confirmed . . . i.e. lists include "tracking - to send","tracking - sent / to confirm receipt" . . . and on. i enjoy promoting a task, perhaps a little toooo much, from one tracking stage to the next. of course, starting each list w/ the word "tracking" keeps these sub-categorical lists adjacent on my home page. if i could search by "listContains: tracking", i could print all tracking lists on one page (presumably with their full-list names showing as they do now with other searches). an aside to RTM: it's not a stretch to say that you helped save my life. thank you.

+1 for listContains - needed particularly when you moonlight or work with many businesses and prefix your projects with business name like so:
List 1 Name - "ABC Co: Project A"
List 2 Name - "ABC Co: Project B"
List 3 Name - "XYZ Co: Project A"
Would be awesome to then search via listContains: "ABC Co" AND tag:na so it could find all Next Actions associated for all lists for "ABC Co".
