searching cards with a text inside a customed field

BERNIER

Good morning,

I have created a custom field named PAYS and I put inside the country of the card. When I make a search, Trello does not find the country which I asked for.

Thank you

Did it on iOS and was able to search within nickname which is a custom field.

I remember testing with py-Trello library and it did not.

BERNIER

I understand nothing, sorry

@BERNIER Basically it shows that you can search against a custom field. Also tested on the desktop and id ok.

When i used a py-trello library to incorporate search it did not search the custom field but if you are not doing any enhancements by coding to integrate with Trello, you can ignore this.

@BERNIER there are 2 search functions in Trello, one is at the board level and used to be called "filtering" which (imho) was a better name for it:

This "filter" search within a board will look for text within custom fields.

The other kind of search is across all boards:

https://help.trello.com/article/808-searching-for-cards-all-boards

This will *not* look inside custom fields. If you want to search across all boards for some content you'll need to put it in the title or description (or comment or checklist items).
