Can I search by lable across all boards.

Question

I have meetings where requests pop up for different stakeholders and I record the requests in cards in that meeting's board, I would like to be able to search for all cards tagged with a lable, so I can collect them when contacting the stakeholders. Or is there another more clever way of doing this is Trello? This is acctuallky why I got the tool in the first place.

Hi @Elisa Schelter - Yes you'll be able to search by label name as well as the colour name: For example if you want to return cards with the label "FIX IT", you'll structure your search like this:

label:"FIX IT"

thank you. but that doesnt help much, I have many labels and dont remember the colour of each, also each board requested seeting the lables again so that the system created different colours for same labels, there is also a lighter and darker green for example, but the labels have names, can't I search by label name?

Hi @Elisa Schelter - Thanks for reaching out to the Community! You can use Trello's global search field in the top-right hand corner of the screen to search across all your Boards/Boards you have access to. To narrow down your search to certain labels you'll want to use the search operators shown here: https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/searching-for-cards-all-boards/

An example search may be like this:

label:green
