Inside your familiar workflow
Only the tasks that match.
Open Google Tasks and click the search icon beside Google’s help button. A header search field updates matches as you type, with no Enter required. View controls, the count and results appear in a dropdown directly below it, overlaying the tasks. The task viewport stays in the same position and size, with no dimming or blur. In narrow windows the search field also appears inside the dropdown. Switch between Filter and Results without losing your query. Results show each task title and list name. Click a result or press Enter to close search and jump to the original task. The × clears the query; another icon click, the back arrow or Escape closes search while retaining the query. An active filter marks the icon blue. While search is open, actual matches in the original lists have subtle blue inset frames drawn above the visible task surface. After a result jump, only the target task remains marked with a stronger frame and side accent, for eight seconds or until you press Escape. Another jump replaces the previous target mark.
Updates with the page
Loaded tasks and title changes update both views. Tab reaches the search controls and results as well as the task page; Escape closes the search bar when focus is inside it. Search text and view mode are not saved.
A reversible view
Search only changes the local view. Jumping to a result does not edit, complete or delete it; those actions remain in the original Google Tasks row.
Know what is searched.
Does it search every task in my account?
No. Version 0.5.2 searches loaded tasks in displayed lists. Open completed sections and scroll to load more tasks when needed. Hidden lists and unloaded tasks are not included.
Are descriptions searched?
This version filters task titles only. Multiple words are treated as a continuous phrase, and special characters are matched literally.
What if Google changes the page?
The extension relies on the Google Tasks page structure. Recognized structural failures pause filtering and restore hidden rows. Compatibility updates may be necessary.
