quick search too far to the right?

love the new layout. Question: the "quick search" box is so far to to the right that it is half off the screen, with a lot of empty space between it and the rest of the menu items. Is there a way to move it?

You must have a small monitor. We will look into it and see if we can get it to fit on smaller monitors.

I agree with Rocky.
I have a 24" monitor and like to split screen with different apps and as a result, I get about 2mm of the quick Search box showing and have to scroll the right to see what I am entering into it. Is it possible to move the Quick Search box to be immediately adjacent to the 'Print Full Page' toolbar item? This would make the site more user friendly without having to use horizontal scrolling. Thank you |

I must be blind. I have a 1920 screen, but I cannot see a "Quick Search" box anywhere. Where is it?

Quick Add I know about. Is that what they are talking about here?
Maybe I took the term "Quick Search" to literally - but if there is a quick search also, I would not mind to know about it. |

Sorry, Quick Search is at top right.

Still can't see it. Does it need to be enabled or something?

You're probably in View by Search (on the left menu).
Try Main or any of the other "View by" options. |

You're absolutely right. I just checked. I am almost always in Search mode - just one click away from my favorite hotlists and other favorite views (i.e. my other saved searches). That's why I did not see a Quick Search box. Wouldn't the Quick Search box be equally relevant to have direct access to even if you happen to be looking at a saved search? |

The Quick Search feature was not designed to work within another search. It can't do nested searching. If you need to search within a search, click the "modify search" link and just adjust the original search criteria.

Wouldn't need to be nested, or be based on the current screen at all ... just a normal quick search from scratch. Why wouldn't you be able to that from anywhere?
It's nothing I need, though. I was just reflecting from a consistency point of view. EDIT: Please forget my whole thought. I just realized that the other quick searches too are based on the current filtering (sub-selection) - they do not start from scratch. That makes it difficult to be consistent in the way I had thought - unless all quick searches would start from scratch, of course. This message was edited Aug 08, 2011. |

Quick search always searches through the visible list. To search your entire list, you use the "search" view and click on the "new search" button.

I'm a new user and the quick search box is so far out in right field that I didn't even notice it. I've been using the search option from the left hand menu and thought that was a rather awkward way of searching.

@ CharleneTX:
Yes, the main use of the normal (left hand) search is to create your own permanent custom views, e.g. "private hotlist", "work hotlist", "project X hotlist" etc. In other to-do systems these saved searches are typically called "smart lists" or "smart views" etc, which perhaps is more descriptive. I use such custom views all the time, and almost never leave "search mode". I have all my favorite special views (saved searches) listed on my left hand under "Search", always just one click away. Very handy and useful. Paradoxically, the only time I leave search mode is when I actually want to search for something, e.g. a misplaced item. Then it is often easier to go manually folder by folder or to use quick search. |

As much as I love using Toodledo, having to scroll for the search box still bugs the hell out of me as it is the most used item I use on this website.
Any chance of moving it to the left side or replacing the "Quick Add Task" box? |

What size is your monitor?

I use multiple machines and monitors. My work machine is 13" macbook pro some times connected with a 19" or 24" external monitors
My home machine is a 24" imac (1920 x 1200). I usually run Toodledo in Firefox having a vertical split screen with Firefox on the left and another application on the right. Hence toodledo is displayed using 960 x 1200 pixels. |
