How can I search the description of my tasks?

I don't know if something changed but I am unable to search for words that are in the description of my tasks. It seems to search the titles for the words I am looking for.

Please help. I do rely on this to find things in my overly long list of tasks.

Oh I am doing this search in Google Chrome from my laptop, if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance,
Tre'

(UPDATE)
My android app does search the description so I can use that until the website matches that behavior. Thanks again.

If you want to search both task title and task notes, you can to make an advanced search with the following criteria:

Task contains "text to be found"
OR
Note contains "text to be found"

Alternatively, you can switch the view to show task notes and then use CTRL+F functionality of the browser to find the text you need.

Thank you!

I must not have been using the advanced search properly. I tried it again and it worked as you described it would.

I have often wished that the drop-down on the search page (that defaults to "Task contains") had an option to select "Task or Note contains" (bonus points for making that the default). I find that would cover the majority of my searches.
