Can I search for a phrase within the comments on a specific card?

I am trying to find a comment on a particular card about their shower niche (construction, here). Each job has it's own card through the sales process and I KNOW the consultant noted a specific request for their shower niche. I just can't find it! I search at the main bar at the top, and it suggests their project card. That confirms it's there! But if I click on the suggested card, it just takes me to said card. Not the specific comment. Sigh

Hi @Alena Dixson , welcome to the Community! 🙂

Trello can search specifically within comments. Use this syntax in the main search bar:

comment:"shower niche" (or broader keywords like `comment:shower`)

Trello returns the card containing the comment and not really jumping directly to the text. Once you open the card, use Ctrl+F(Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) to  locate the exact phrase in the activity section.

Hope that helps you find that request!

Best,

Arek 🤠
