The global filter can also be used to help find tasks.  When used in this way, it is best to run in review mode.  To find the task you are looking for, set the global filter including the text you are looking for.   e.g.

 

 

The first task containing all of the text will then be displayed.  If you are in review mode, pressing <enter> will automatically move to the next task containing the text.  If the filter cannot find any tasks to display, the filter will automatically be removed; after all there is no point in displaying nothing.

 

You can further restrict the returned results by using any of the normal filter elements such as projects and dates.  See Applying a global filter for more information.
